The imposing choral sections of course have a lot to do with it. But the unusual, black-velvet universe Mozart created, full of daring and sometimes extreme harmonies, contributes to this appealing musical kaleidoscope.
First Nicola Boud, world-renowned specialist on historical clarinet, will perform Mozart's Clarinet Concerto.
