Mozart
Arthur Grumiaux (violin) Live Concert Performances (Meloclassic)

Mozart: Haffner Serenade, Bella mia fiamma (Profil)
(Déjà Review) Wand’s devotion plays itself out in these elegant performances [KS]
Leo Sirota (piano) Piano Recital Vol. 1 (Sakuraphon)
A full and varied recital programme, characterized by great dynamic range and highly creative phrasing [MK]
Ombre di luce – recital (Pentatone)
An attractive programme, very well sung, with several rarities [GF]

Delightful performances of delightful music [SB]
Mozart: String Quartet & Quintet (Aeon)
The coupling might seem offbeat, but this is exemplary Mozart playing, well worth hearing [DBa]
Berlioz: Te Deum (Profil)
Sir Colin’s performance of the Te Deum is a hugely impressive account of a great pièce d’occasion [JQ]

Mozart & R Strauss: Lieder (Erato)
