Christian Gerhaher & Freiburger Barockorchester A Zeneakadémia saját szervezésű programja

In 1987 final-year students of the Freiburg College of Music established the Freiburg Baroque Orchestra in order to play 17-18th century music on period instruments and in a historically informed manner. The ensemble quickly gained a reputation and today they are one of the best-known early music orchestras in the world. They frequently perform under the baton of famous conductors like Ádám Fischer, although they are most commonly directed by their concertmaster, Gottfried von der Goltz, who is once again first among equals at this Mozart recital. Besides the orchestral works, this programme presents several opera and concert arias performed by German baritone Christian Gerhaher, who, with is broad repertoire, is sought-after both as an oratorio and lieder singer. Gerhaher is joined by another major soloist: the Italian clarinettist Lorenzo Coppola, who performs the Clarinet Concerto in A major, dedicated to Anton Stadler and written shortly before Mozart’s death.
