A spry and brilliant symphony by an eight-year old; a magnificent concerto, lost for nearly two centuries; a symphony that has become a popular favourite the world over, though in its time it was astonishingly revolutionary. The familiar names of Beethoven, Haydn and Mozart conceal a wealth of stories in this delightful programme.
