Mozart's Jupiter Symphony meets Weber's Bassoon Magic
The Munich Philharmonic invites you to a melodious symphony concert at the Isarphilharmonie on Wednesday, October 7, 2026. Under the baton of Andrea Marcon, the program connects Mozart's cheerful opera energy with the romantic virtuosity of Carl Maria von Weber and the monumental brilliance of Mozart's last symphony.
Sparkling Start with Mozart
The overture to Così fan tutte opens the evening with lively rhythm, elegant themes, and that pointed orchestral synchronization that makes Mozart's music feel so immediate to this day. In the Isarphilharmonie, the transparent sound of the Munich Philharmonic unfolds every nuance between chamber music lightness and grand stage performance.
Raffaele Giannotti in the Spotlight
Carl Maria von Weber's bassoon concerto in F major op. 75 then leads into the sonic world between classical and romantic. Raffaele Giannotti, solo bassoonist of the Munich Philharmonic, brings the instrument to life with singable warmth, technical precision, and characterful articulation. The bassoon appears not merely as a supporting voice but as an expressive soloist in dialogue with the orchestra.
The Jupiter Symphony as the Crowning Highlight
After the intermission, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's symphony in C major KV 551 is on the program. The so-called Jupiter Symphony combines festive sound splendor, contrapuntal art, and dramatic build-up. Especially the elaborately crafted final fugue adds unmistakable energy to the finale and leads the concert experience to a radiant climax.
Concert Introduction Before the Start
As early as 6:15 PM, a approximately 40-minute concert introduction in the rehearsal room, House C, provides additional insights into works, composers, and musical contexts. The concert begins at 7:30 PM; the performance lasts about one and a half hours.
Conclusion: Classical Music with Excitement, Color, and Great Gesture
This concert combines operatic charm, solo brilliance, and symphonic architecture in a balanced program. Those who want to experience the live atmosphere of the Munich Philharmonic, the acoustics of the Isarphilharmonie, and Mozart's Jupiter Symphony in full orchestral effect should not miss this evening.
