Program notes

The Munich Philharmonic Orchestra's divine concert opens with Anton Webern's Six Pieces for Orchestra, conducted by the formidable Zubin Mehta. This distinctive work reveals the delicate, refined style of the Austrian composer, who had been a pupil of Arnold Schoenberg. Next on the program is Mozart’s famous Symphony No. 40, a stark contrast to Webern’s poetic melodies. Bursting with drama and graceful harmonies, this classical masterpiece closes out the evening with a brilliant performance by the orchestra, under the baton of the legendary maestro.
