“Leading figures in Mozart research have not hesitated to allude to religious vocabulary when interpreting this unique phenomenon,” the theologian Hans Küng once observed with regard to Mozart’s incomparable music. “For Alfred Einstein Mozart was ‘but a guest on this earth.’ Josef Krips sees his works not only as reaching heaven but as actually coming from there. Many performers speak of Mozart as ‘otherworldly,’ 'not of this world,' 'divine.'" Indeed, for Küng himself, Mozart’s music touches on questions of faith—precisely where it seems to be at its most “worldly," as in the instrumental works. For it points to “what is finally ineffable, what is secret,” the symbol of divinity itself. The exquisite Freiburg Baroque Orchestra and South African fortepiano specialist Kristian Bezuidenhout, who has enchanted Lucerne audiences over the past two years with his Mozart playing, will present this resounding proof of God.
