Mozart
475 Jahre Sächsische Staatskapelle Dresden (Profil)
Many first-class performances to celebrate the 475th anniversary of the Staatskapelle Dresden [MC]
Mozart: Don Giovanni (Deutsche Grammophon)
(Déjà Review) This well sung performance in traditional sets and costumes will provide much enjoyment [RJF]
Mozart: Requiem (BR Klassik)
A good, though not inspired version, which doesn’t compare to an earlier Jansons performance with the Concertgebouw [PT]
Mozart: Arias, Symphony No. 38 (Opus Arte)
(Déjà Review) Excellent performances of these great works [PSh]
Mozart: Così fan tutte (Deutsche Grammophon)
Despite cuts and a less than perfect ensemble, the sense of being a part of an exciting occasion is boldly realized here [MP]
Wilhelm Kempff (piano) Live Concert Edition (Meloclassic)
Indispensable for Kempff fans [SG]
Mozart: Piano Concerto No. 20, Symphony No. 40; Schumann: Piano Concerto (C Major)
A beautifully filmed concert with a surprising programme [WH]
Mozart’s Requiem
A survey by Ralph Moore
Mozart: Don Giovanni (Orfeo)
(Déjà Review) A collector’s item specifically for opera buffs and Furtwängler fanatics which fills a gap in his recording legacy [AR]
Sonic Alchemy (Sono Luminus)
An absorbing, rewarding programme, despite reservations about a couple of the performances [PT]
Barchet: Chamber Works (Hänssler Classic)
(Déjà Review) Full marks to Hänssler for giving enduring life to this most attractive and expert craftsman [JW]
New Year’s Concert – Teatro La Fenice 2023 (C Major)
A pleasing concert that will almost certainly cheer you up [MMB]
Mozart: Piano Concertos – Vol. 9 (Chandos)
Bavouzet and Takács-Nagy are unsurpassed in sensitively conveying Mozart’s varieties of mood, but K415’s finale is diminished by a plethora of eingangs and a rescoring [MG]
Youri Egorov (piano) 1977 Van Cliburn International Piano Competition (DeHaan Records)
A welcome addition to the Egorov discography [SG]
Neville Marriner (conductor): The Complete Warner Classics Recordings (Warner Classics)
An 80-CD centenary salute to Marriner, with (or without) his ASMF [JW]
Adila Fachiri and Marie Soldat (violin): (Biddulph)
Fachiri, Tovey and Soldat: historic recordings freighted with significance [JW]
Arturo Benedetti Michelangeli (piano) Mozart & Beethoven (Music & Arts)
A must-hear for Michelangeli fans, and indeed for all lovers of great pianism [CC]
Mozart: Zaide (Orfeo)
A very good cast in a version with more linking dialogue than on other recordings [MP]
Mozart: Piano Concertos Nos 20 & 23 (Analekta)
Illuminating, especially the clarified swing between minor and major perspectives in Concerto No 20 [MG]
Mozart: Complete Masses Vol 1 (Naxos)
Auspicious beginning to a series of Mozart’s Masses [DF]
Dans nos yeux – recital (Warner Classics)
Crossover, yes, but don’t let that deter you from some very enjoyable music [DJB]
Mozart: Piano concertos (Academy of Ancient Music)
A total delight [ST]
Mozart: Sonatas for Piano & Violin (Deutsche Grammophon)
A magical new recording of the Mozart sonatas for piano and violin [RMa]

Most of the epistle sonatas and the three late organ works on one convenient disc [SB]
