09/07/2004 Mostly Mozart
Mostly Mozart, the third annual festival at London's Barbican, starts today, and continues every weekend in July. Highlights include: * tonight: Requiem and Symphony no 40 (Academy of St Martin in the Fields) * Fri 16 July: Mozart and Handel Arias (Academy…, plus mezzo-of-the-moment Alice Coote) * Sat 17 July: Cosi fan Tutte (Garsington Opera, semi-staged) * Thursday 29 July: Mass in C Minor. It's a very timely small festival and a welcome addition to the mid-summer concert calendar - just as the opera houses are running down, along come these superlative musicians, playing extracts from the sublime catalogue of maybe the leading musician of all time, in an outstanding, easily accessible concert hall. Magnifico! It certainly beats the summer rockpop outdoor alternatives: cringing as yet another line-up of rockers/singer-songwriters/popsters with limited talent attempt to re-create what made him/her/them fleetingly popular, and far too wealthy, some years ago. Festival supporter Classic FM is running a month of tempting Mozart-themed radio programmes during July.
