Synopsis

Amazon.com

Mozart composed around 60 works which we call "symphonies" today. In Mozart's day, there were many other terms for them, including "overture," "divertimento," "cassation," and "serenade." All of the works after number 41 actually belong to the composer's earliest period. Sir Charles Mackerras turns in what must be the most lively, musical, and completely charming versions of these rarely performed pieces. A delightful disc. --David Hurwitz

CD Reviews

Wonderful Performances of Early Mozart Symphonies

James Skrydlak | Pella, Iowa | 01/04/2000

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Nearly everybody knows that Mozart was a child prodigy. These symphonies provide ample evidence in support of that characterization. You won't find the profundity of the later symphonies here, but you will find perfectly-crafted, delightful music with a clarity and depth that only Mozart achieves. Mackerras and the Prague Chamber Orchestra sound as if they're having the time of their lives here, playing with brio and precision."
