Mozart
Mozart: Cosi fan tutte (Pristine Audio)
A glorious documentation of the high standards of the ensemble at the Royal Stockholm Opera more than 80 years ago [GF]
Sir Adrian Boult: BBC SO Pre-war Vol. 1 (Pristine)
An very fine release of Boult’s early recordings of Bach and Viennese masters [GT]
Mozart: La Clemenza di Tito (Alpha)
A very good new Tito which marks a new chapter in the development of Nicky Spence as the title character [ST]
Mozart: Symphonies (Genuin)
The outer movements of Symphony 41 are splendid; elsewhere Klumpp’s Mozart can be a shade relentless [MG]
Beethoven & Mozart: Piano Transcriptions (BIS)
Sensational pianism, inspiration, and exuberant pianism in every track [MM]
Jascha Heifetz (violin) New York Concerts (Rhine Classics)
Heifetz fans, of which I’m one, shouldn’t hesitate [SG]
Walter Gieseking (piano) His Columbia Graphophone Recordings (Warner Classics)
A splendid collection [SG]
Stefan Askenase (piano) Concerts (Meloclassic)
Finesse and elegance in these richly recorded recitals [RCh]
Classical Piano Concertos (Tudor)
A staple Mozart concerto joined by two rarities [JW]
Mozart & Salieri: Requiem (Chateau Versailles)
A very interesting pairing on a single CD but the performance achieves mixed results [MP]
