Re: Favourite Mozart

And if you are tired of Mozart, 27th January is also the birthday of composer J C Arriaga, born exactly 50 years after Mozart, who unfortunately died of severe illness a few days before his 20th birthday. Not much of his work has survived, but he did go to study at the Paris Conservatoire at 16 and 18 was appointed a Profesor there!

A piece often played is the Overture to his opera "Los Esclavos Felices" which he composed when he was 13.

So here in Bilbao, his birthplace, celebrations have happily mixed the works of both composers to celebrate 250 years of one and 200 of the other.

In the following link is in Spanish, but you can see a photo of our opera house named after him.
