JPO | Mozart: Flute and Harp Concerto | Khanyisile Mthetwa and Gaylen Sales | Cond. Schalk v d Merwe

This week, we present a recording of Mozart’s Concerto for Flute and Harp in C, recorded at the Linder Auditorium, as part of the JPO Virtual Spring Symphony Season. The performance by the JPO features soloists Khanyi Mthetwa on flute and Gaylen Sales on harp, under the baton of Schalk van der Merwe. This Concerto is only one of two true double concertos that Mozart wrote, as well as the only piece of music he wrote for the harp. At the time, the harp was still in development, and was not considered a standard orchestral instrument, and this combination was considered extremely unusual. Mozart wrote the concerto in 1778, during a seven-month sojourn in Paris. Today, the concerto is often played by chamber ensembles, as it is technically and elegantly challenging for both the solo instruments it calls for and the orchestra.
