¦ ¦ ¦ ¦ That was Neville Mariner conducting the Academy of St. Martin in the Fields with the overture to Mozart's Il re pastore, The Shepherd King.

After a few years with some unfinished operas and some opera-adjacent works, Mozart was, in 1780, commissioned to write an opera for the Bavarian court based in Munich.

Originally written for the harpsichord, I'll play this fantastic recording my father used to listen to with Murray Perahia on the piano and the Academy of St. Martin in the Fields.

This is Beth Cohen, and listen to this.
