    Leopold Mozart

    Mozart and Son

    Tonight we'll hear a couple of selections from Papa Mozart and his (slightly more famous) son. John Lubbock leads the Orchestra of St. John's in Leopold Mozart's delightful "Toy" Symphony, followed by Wolfgang's Serenade No. 5 from Christopher Hogwood and The Academy of Ancient Music.

    Later on, we'll preview the Collegiate Chorale's performance of Bach's Christmas Cantata at Carnegie Hall tomorrow night, as soloists extraordinaire Lisa Saffer and James Maddalena join us in the studio to talk Bach with musical examples. We'll undergo a sea change in the third hour with Debussy's "La mer" and Britten's "Four Sea Interludes"; George Pieterson and the Concertgebouw Orchestra bring the night to a close with Hindemith's Clarinet Concerto — originally written for none other than Benny Goodman.
