Haydn and Mozart
Donald Macleod explores the relationship between Michael Haydn and Wolfgang and Leopold Mozart, who worked alongside him at the Salzburg court. Includes Symphony in G.
Having a world famous composer for a brother isn't easy. Despite being hugely respected in his own lifetime and thought, especially in sacred music, to be at least the equal of Franz Joseph, Michael Haydn has not been kindly dealt with by history. A modest man, comfortable in his Salzburg surrounds, Michael Haydn's lack of ambition seems to have held him back, and his works are rarely heard today. This week Donald Macleod tries to redress the balance by exploring the life and work of a composer admired and respected by his contemporaries, and revered by Schubert.
In today's programme, Donald explores the relationship between Michael Haydn and Wolfgang and Leopold Mozart who worked alongside him at the Salzburg court.
