Zum Leiden bin ich auserkoren — Mozarts Clavichord

Georg Nigl, baritone
Dörte Lyssewski, recitation
Alexander Gergelyfi, clavichord

Mozart's Nachtmusik will be performed on Wolfgang A. Mozart's original clavichord. The Salzburg Festival would like to thank the Mozarteum Foundation for the use of this unique instrument, which is normally on display in Mozart's birthplace.

Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy: Calm Sea and Prosperous Voyage, Op. 27
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart: Piano Concerto No. 20 in D minor, K. 466
Ludwig van Beethoven: Symphony No. 5 in C minor, Op. 67

The Carinthian Summer will conclude with two of the great classics of music history. Lukas Sternath, a 24-year-old celebrated star with Carinthian roots, already thrilled audiences at last year's Carinthian Summer and now returns with Mozart's Piano Concerto K. 466. The Camerata Salzburg, with its specialists in the authentic Salzburg Mozart sound, will perform under the baton of Italian conductor Antonello Manacorda, who made his acclaimed debut at the Salzburg Festival in 2025.
