Music from the Mozart family plus highlights from the Bath Mozartfest

Exclusive music-making including compositions from the Mozart family recorded in Germany and highlights from this years' Bath Mozartfest

Linton Stephens brings you an afternoon of exclusive music-making including works by Amadé himself plus his father and son, recorded in Mainz, Germany. Plus there will be performances from this years' Bath Mozartfest and a spotlight on early music with the Freiburg Baroque Orchestra.

Throughout the week, Classical Live is featuring specially recorded performances of music by Mozart. Today, we will hear not just from the composer himself but also from his father and son. Conductor Guilhem Kusnierek joins forces with the German Radio Philharmonic Orchestra to perform Franz Xaver Wolfgang Mozart's Overture for Orchestra in D, Leopold Mozart's Serenade in D and finally Mozart's Horn Concerto No. 3 in E flat.

There is also a spotlight on this years' Bath Mozartfest. Celebrating its 35th year, the festival is a feast of fine classical music and showcases artistic excellence. Today, we will hear Schubert's Piano Trio No 2 in E flat major.

Plus, we will hear from the Freiburg Baroque Orchestra who aim to enliven the world of Baroque music with new sounds. The orchestra will perform Bach's Brandenburg Concerto No. 4 in G and Vivaldi's Trio Sonata in D minor.
