Mozart

An auspicious start to a period-instrument series of Mozart symphonies [DF]

The singing doesn’t quite match the wonderful staging [DJB]

Fine playing, but the interpretations are a matter of personal taste [PBW]

Karajan in Lucerne in largely unreleased performances [JW]

A beautiful tone and natural, unmannered playing and flexibility of phrasing [RCh]

Sparkling and exuberant playing makes the most of these three Viennese concerti [RCh]

An important cache of early chamber music recordings heard in debatable transfers [JW]

A riotously enjoyable disc, the third in the amazing Sarah Willis’s series featuring Mozart Cuban-style [GPJ]

Played with sincerity, but the competition is fierce [MC]

Michelangeli’s Mozart at its most ebullient, masculine and human [JW]

Horenstein’s Haydn and Mozart pack quite a punch [MG]

(Déjà Review) More great music-making from the Ančerl Gold Series [DS]

These performances do not quite achieve the vitality and focus of my benchmarks [MC]

An attractive collection no lover of Mozart will regret acquiring [GF]

Sparkling performances of early Mozart works you’ve never heard like this before [MG]

Exemplary singularity of vision and artful musicianship [SG]

Klemperer consolidated; his full Warner legacy in best-yet transfers [JW]

A somewhat flawed recital from a remarkable young singer with real potential [MSt]

Mozart in historical context: Repertoire associated with an orchestra he revered [DF]

(Déjà Review) One of the most rewarding and enjoyable Mozart discs in recent years [DS]

Youthful but remarkably distinguished Mozart concerto performances [NH]

Symphonies 34 and 35 get entertainingly fresh, well balanced, focussed and detailed accounts but Symphony 36 is less secure [MG]

(Déjà Review) I have derived much pleasure from this disc and I expect many opera lovers will like it too [GF]

A rewarding collection [GT]
