Mozart
Mozart & R Strauss: Lieder (Erato)
A worthwhile disc, even if I am equivocal about some of the singing [PT]
Mozart: Overtures (BIS)
Willens is both stimulating and instructive. For me, he proves Mozart wants you eager to listen beyond the overture [MG]
Christine Brewer (soprano) Great Operatic Arias (Chandos)
(Déjà Review) Chandos’s faith in Brewer has been justified, completely and utterly [CC]
Mozart: Don Giovanni (Orfeo)
A re-issue of one of Karajan’s best live Mozart outings with a superb cast, in decent sound [RMo]
Mozart: Concertos (Warner Classics)
(Déjà Review) Definitely one to own – it’s not often that “new” Mozart pieces become available [JR]
Edwin Fischer (piano): Mozart Piano Concertos (APR)
APR’s endeavours are of real value and virtue to the pianophile [SG]
Pina Carmirelli (violin) Concert Tours (Meloclassic)
A significant discographical addition [SG]
Mozart: Mezzo Mozart (Aparté)
Marina Viotti makes this an album of great Mozart arias hard to resist. [MC]
Mozart: Orchestral Works (Dynamic)
A wonderfully played and very varied Mozart programme in extraordinarily vivid sound [RMo]
Mozart: Violin Sonatas (Philips)
(Déjà Review) One of the most rewarding and enjoyable Mozart discs in recent years [DS]
Guila Bustabo (violin) Unearthed Broadcast Recordings (Meloclassic)
Valuable additions to the Bustabo discography [SG]
The Spohr Collection Vol. 3 (Channel Classics)
A delightful selection of flute works played on a variety of original instruments [JW]
Mozart: London Sketchbook (1764/5) (Naxos)
A delightful disc with obvious affection for both the composer and the works [SA]
Vienna, Theme & Variations (Zip Records)
Piano quatre mains at its best [DC]
Mozart: Piano music (Nonesuch)
(Déjà Review) If you fancy wallowing in a well programmed, superbly recorded concert hall-style recital, you really will enjoy this [TH]
Hans Schmidt-Isserstedt (conductor): Orchestral Anthology Vol 1 (Forgotten Records)
Schmidt-Isserstedt on light duties, pre-war, in an overture sequence [JW]
Mozart: Symphonies 34-36 (BIS)
Vivacious performances in crystalline sound with perfect balances among sections [RMo]
Debussy & Mozart: Songs (ECM)
(Déjà Review) Banse’s subtle, dark-toned soprano is ideal for this material [TH]
Mozart: Mozart, You Drive me Crazy! (Alpha Classics)
Attractive in every respect to lovers of Mozart, or of opera in general [GF]
Mozart: Symphonies 9, 14, 20 & 24 (Genuin)
Not everything gels perfectly, but when it does Klumpp impressively catches Mozart’s sense of adventure in a whole new world [MG]
Thomas Jensen (conductor) Legacy v22 (Danacord)
Discography expansion in the work of Thomas Jensen [JW]
Mozart: Piano Concertos (Bridge)
(Déjà Review) Excellent retrieval work from Bridge, whose commitment to Balsam has been of long standing and great worth [JW]
Cherubini Quartet: The Complete Warner Classics Recordings (Warner Classics)
The Cherubini Quartet’s favourite and less well-remembered recordings [JW]
Mozart, Brahms: Clarinet Quintets (Tudor)
(Déjà Review) Beautifully played orthodox performances of a cultivated homogeneity [MG]
