My final contribution to my current list of versions of this work. This I find to be the most “Mozartian” interpretation so far. The pace is brisk but not rushed with a very keen sense of forward momentum. The clarinet is a basset clarinet and all of the instrumentalists play superbly. To date, this one is my favourite.
I have singled out Mozart performances by l'archibudelli as those I should asap, so thanks Fergus, that is now at the top of my basket.
If you get it Seán I will be interested in your thoughts.

A very well played and somewhat poignant performance which is an unusual interpretation for this work. Things change in the final movement where most the variations are played with some gaiety.
My copy arrived today. It is a delightful performance of K. 581: full of warmth and charm, I love it.
