Mannheim School
Sunday 20 March 2005 13:00-14:00 (Radio 3)
Andrew Manze presents the second of his programmes about the music of the Mannheim School. After nearly 50 years of success at the Mannheim court, the orchestra eventually moved to Munich, taking most of is most important musicians with it. Some of the performers became so successful that they were able to tour Europe; Franz Danzi, clarinettist Franz Tausch and Carl Stamitz all made a living off the back of the Mannheim name.
