I cannot quite believe how young Mozart was when he composed some of his early symphonies, piano concertos and violin sonatas. It is astounding!Jose Echenique wrote:<I am currently listening to one of my own favourite Mozart symphonies at the moment....No. 29.>

Listening to Pires's delightful interpretations of Mozart's late sonatas. Wonderful! I think I have never really appreciated Pires fully. I will give her renditions more time from now on.....

The Freiburger´s first XIX Century recording. This is puzzling, why hire a baby faced Spanish conductor virtually unknown in the period performance movement? Maybe because he is good? Well, I´ll tell you he is not bad, these are dynamic and very period performances (Brüggen or Immerseel sound more traditional in comparison). The Freiburgers sound glorious of course. Still a 50 minute cd is rather mean, especially when the 1st or 2nd symphonies could have been accommodated at these fastish speeds.

No Pepe....simply because he is young enough to perform such a dramatic leap for the CD cover LOL!!!
Seriously....it sounds interesting.
I do agree that 50 minutes worth of music is short changing the public these days even if it is the Freiburgers.
