City sightseeing tour from ages past with Boccherini; a history of instruments adventure with Mozart and the ensemble’s principal clarinettist, Gábor Varga; and a remarkable mass that for some reason remained unfinished. The Mass in C minor is one of Mozart’s most significant works for the church, while the Et incarnatus est passage of the unfinished Credo movement was written for his wife Constanza. Indeed, she sang the part at its première in Salzburg. But what could the voice and singing skills of his young wife have been like? And in the same period, a good two thousand kilometres away in Spain, how did the beggars of Madrid dance the minuet and what did street singers sing about? This audience is guided through the streets of Madrid, Salzburg and Vienna by the always welcome guest conductor Carlo Montanaro.
