Mozart from Munich

Ivan Repušić conducts Lutosławski's Funeral Music (in memory of Béla Bartók) and Mozart's Davide penitente.

Ivan Repušić conducts Lutosławski and Mozart in the Herz-Jesu-Kirche, a modern church in Munich which boasts the largest church doors in the world.

Presented by Fiona Talkington.

Lutosławski's Musique Funèbre was supposed to be a memorial piece on the 10th anniversary of Béla Bartók's death, but the composer delivered it three years too late. Nevertheless, his "Musique funèbre", premiered in 1958 at the Warsaw Autumn, caused a sensation, making him known in the West and showing many fellow Eastern European composers an alternative to the socialist-realist, Soviet-influenced "folk art". The cantata "Davide penitente" was commissioned for a concert in Vienna by the charitable Tonkünstler-Societät, and Mozart reworked his great Mass in C minor into a cantata about the penitent David.
