Product Description

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart:
Essential Symphonies Vol. I

"These Mozart symphonies were recorded in two weeks at the European Music Festival Stuttgart in September 2006. More than 20 Mozart symphonies, ranging from his earliest to his last ten, were chosen to represent the superb range of his output. They included each of the "types" (symphony, serenade, opera overture), and were drawn from each of the years he wrote symphonies. As usual with the Stuttgart Radio Symphony Orchestra, we aimed to recreate as far as possible the playing style of the period. We used the exact orchestra size of each symphony at its first performance (the smallest was a mere 18 players!).

I hope you will find Mozart's amazing creativity equally enjoyable in all his different orchestra sizes, and throughout all his different compositional periods, and that some of the sheer fun performers and audience had will be communicated in these very live Festival performances."
- Sir Roger Norrington
