MOZART ORCHESTRA
was established with the vision
to bring the true spirit of the Viennese style of music making to
Australian audiences - a tradition that has been passed on through
generations of musicians and can be traced beyond Johann Strauss all the
way to Schubert, Beethoven, Haydn, Mozart and even Vivaldi.
Wherever possible, Mozart Orchestra performs on the type of instruments
common in Viennese orchestras. Together with the appropriate playing
styles and techniques, instruments such as Viennese Oboes, Vienna Horns,
Clarinets in C and D, Trumpets in F as well as Drums with wooden rims
and goat or calf skins are used to produce real Viennese sound.
Artistic Director
Thomas Pinschof , himself of
an old Viennese family with Australian connections going back to Nellie Melba's
time and with an inborn love and understanding for this music, has brought together some
of Melbourne's outstanding musicians to share this noble tradition with
his Australian friends and audiences.
Thomas Pinschof is proud to be a product of the great Viennese tradition
and the culture of being equally partial to the enjoyment of any
combination of delicious wine, food, fine arts, architecture, music and
dance. Such ‘joie de vivre' makes him equally passionate about music and
the genius of Bach, Johann Strauss, Leonardo da Vinci, a rare bottle of
wine or a beautiful Lipizzaner stallion.
His library includes many autographs, first editions and he has direct
connections to Austrian archives and musical collections. Thomas'
arrangements and instrumentations, though sometimes unexpected, are
always true to the composer's intentions and stay within the traditions
of the period.
Australians are now able to directly benefit from the experience and
knowledge gained by his Australia Council sponsored study with Nikolaus
Harnoncourt, the world renowned expert on historical performance styles.
Mozart Orchestra is proud to be considered “The most Viennese
Orchestra outside Vienna”
