Discover how Mozart inspired Stravinsky when London Symphonia’s Winds perform Mozart’s Gran Partita, a work so technically challenging it is rarely heard live. Regarded as some of the finest music ever composed by Mozart, the Gran Partita inspired Stravinsky to compose his Octet for Wind Instruments. When the Octet made its debut in 1923, the audience heard Stravinsky's unmistakable musical language dressed in classical forms from the time of Mozart. Scott Harrison conducts.
