Moz-Art à la Haydn

In Moz-Art à la Haydn (1977), Schnittke, through the use of fragments from works by Mozart and Haydn, gives us his own refreshing perspective on the classical style and such established rituals as light and stage arrangement. Shostakovich’s 1st cello concerto (1959), created for the legendary Russian cellist Mstislav Rostropovich, is a frenetically dynamic, emotionally intense and wickedly virtuosic work. One of Haydn’s most successful and frequently played “London” Symphonies, the no. 100, stands out for its sublimely elegant themes, grandeur and its second movement’s musical representation of a war battle.
