We should really be talking about Paris when referring to the Mannheim School. This European musical capital boasted the most innovative publishing scene between the 1750’s and 1780’s and eased the way for the Mannheim masterpieces to be performed and admired in Paris. This Mannheim hype was only disputed by the works of Joseph Haydn.

„His highly admired teacher Nikolaus Harnoncourt ignited in him the search for musical truthfulness. He defied many conventions of the time and, with his versatile talents, became a pioneer of historical performance practice in Salzburg and beyond. He set standards as an interpreter – both as a singer and conductor, and as an initiator and visionary. He founded the Salzburger Bachgesellschaft (Salzburg Bach Society), the Salzburg Bach Choir and was instrumental in the creation of the Institute for Early Music and the Alpine Folk Music course at the Mozarteum Salzburg. It is thanks to his initiative that the instrumental and vocal pedagogy course has been preserved throughout Austria. As founder of the Müllner Cantorey and the Collegium Vocale Salzburg, he was also its musical director for many years. As an enthusiastic teacher, the artistic training of future singers and teachers was a great concern to him and he involved his students in the interpretation of early music in his ensembles. Many of his students founded choirs and ensembles themselves and continue to carry his brightly shining torch to this day. Out of deep gratitude for his great achievements for music and culture in Salzburg, Austria and on an international level, we now present this memorial concert with „music of the heart“ by Prof. Dr. Albert Hartinger, performed by long-time musical companions and friends.“ (Virgil Hartinger).

Reverence for the deceased hasn’t exactly been a common virtue in music history. No sooner did a composer leave a work unfinished than the volunteers emerged to pay their respect. Few composers were as canny as Johannes Brahms who burnt every unfinished work. Many works were left unfinished: Bach’s Art of the Fugue, Schubert’s symphonic fragments… the list is endless, but one work will always have a distinguished position:
Mozart ‘s Requiem. Many myths developed around this awesome „mortality music “. Tragically it became Mozart’s own swan song. The historical origin of the Masonic Funeral Music is an equal flurry of speculation. Was it indeed intended for the Freemasons, or should it be regarded as church music?
Two works are added to the programme in Salzburg, setting the concert in the context of Passiontide: the Misericordias Domini KV 222, a contrapuntal showpiece by the young Mozart combining polyphony with expressive harmony, and a highly emotional a capella work by Johann Michael Haydn.

Johann Sebastian Bach’s four orchestral suites, presumably written over a period of around 20 years from 1718 onwards, each of which is a free sequence of dance movements preceded by an overture, are among the most popular pieces of Baroque music and contain some of the best-known pieces of classical music, such as the Badinerie (dalliance) that concludes the 2nd Suite or the Air (melody) that comes second in the 3rd Suite. This veritable hit parade is presented in its original sound by the L’Orfeo Barockorchester under the direction of Michi Gaigg.
