Mozart & Jörg Widmann @ Usher Hall, 2 June 2023

When the glass harmonica was invented in the 18th century, some listeners thought they were hearing the voices of angels, others heard demons and some thought it utterly trivial – but Mozart was enchanted. His rarely heard Adagio is the glint of magic at the centre of a concert that features two of his greatest symphonies, conducted by livewire and allround musical Renaissance man Jörg Widmann – who’s written his own shimmering tribute to the delightful instrument from another age.
