Symphoniker Hamburg / Sylvain Cambreling

Over the course of his short life Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart composed more than 600 works – using more than eight kilometres of manuscript paper. He wrote his First Symphony at the age of eight, and composed the inventive A major symphony, his 29th, when he was 18. As a point of comparison, Bruckner wrote his Seventh Symphony when he was around 60 – and that was the work that brought him real fame. His sprawling sound cosmos has been depreciatingly called a »symphonic boa constrictor«. Sylvain Cambreling now combines these two milestones of classical and Romantic symphony music in one concert.
