HIGHLIGHT
Both Haydn’s No.1 and Mozart’s No.39 are part of the classical canon. Although the younger composer’s symphony is clearly indebted to his senior, Mozart’s gift of musical poetry and unerring sense of drama are universally praised. More than a century and a half later, Richard Strauss wrote his Oboe Concerto toward the end of his life (1946), underlining his love for the instrument. The classical structure and orchestration, however, casts a glance back at his fellow Austro-German forebears sharing this program.
