#morninglistening to #ChristianZacharias in his #WAMozart PianoConcertos, working my way back through the box. These are w/DavidZinman and the @BRSOrchestra. It's hard to not like any good performance on hearing, so I really like these. 😇

#morninglistening to a HIP #WAMozart PianoConcerto recording of the first hour: Cologne's CollegiumAureum w/JörgDemus on DHM. This was the NorthWest-equivalent of the ConcentusMusicus in Vienna and made Cologne and early music hub.

Mozart - Die Entführung aus dem Serail / Schäfer, Petibon, Bostridge, Paton, Ewing, Löw, Les Arts Florissants, Christie Amazon.com It was only a matter of time before William Christie got around to recording Mozart's delightful 1782 singspiel, and the results are very happy indeed. Period instruments are just right for the raucous "Turkish" music Mozart composed for Entführung, and they go very nicely with the light voices Christie has chosen as well. Most successful is the Belmonte of tenor Ian Bostridge, already famous for his lieder singing. This is a sensitive yet ardent portrayal, and while the voice may be somewhat limited at the bottom end of the scale, its colors and expressive use more than make up for any limitations. Not only is Christine Schäfer's Konstanze handsomely sung, but for once we feel her rage in "Martern aller Arten," and not at the aria's difficulties. The secondary couple, Pedrillo and Blonde, are sung by Iain Paton and Patricia Petibon, respectively, and they are nice foils for the other two: Paton is impetuous and Petibon is coy where their betters are thoughtful and serious. Alan Ewing's light Osmin seems at first to be too light, but he has the low notes required for the role and shows his sensitive side in his opening aria about love. Still, he could use a bit more heft. Christie's tempi are ideal, his band plays superbly, and the singers embellish their vocal lines tastefully. And the little march before Pasha Selim arrives has never been recorded before. Where did it come from? This may not be the most laugh-heavy performance of the work on CD, but it's beautifully performed. --Robert Levine

Ein paar interessante Fakten zu Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.
Viel Spaß beim Lesen!

#morninglistening to #WAMozart, who died today, 234 years ago. Not my favorite opera, "Abduction", but what a timeless, trimmed account Fricsay's is. Haefliger as fresh a ever. Stader keeping the vibrato in check. Streich super-feisty. Exsultate, jubilate! (Also included)

#morninglistening to the #WAMozart PianoSonatas w/Sir #AndrásSchiff on Decca. Every such cycle has lovely moments, but overall, not too much happening here. Having waited a few decades listening to this, I don't feel I missed out.

#morninglistening to the @spunicunifait_quintet in the complete, HIP #WAMozart StringQuintets on AlphaClassics / @outheremusic. Very much looking forward to hearing these performances and liking what I've heard so far.

#morninglistening once more to #WAMozart w/#ColinDavis & the @staatskapelledresden on Philips before filling it. Wouldn't want to be reduced to this Mozart, but this is 'good' regal Davis & there's lots of appeal in these elegant readings.

#morninglistening to #WAMozart w/#ColinDavis & the StaatskapelleDresden on Philips in classic 1991 recordings There was a time when I might not have appreciated Davis' Mozart (Krips it ain't), there's lots of appeal in these elegant readings.

#morninglistening to a mix of #WAMozart & LuigiGatti (1740-1817) in ClarinetQuartets K370 (+ K330, K580) & C- & F-major. The Mozart interp's R so pretty, bland and bloody faceless, the Gatti doesn't fall off. In one ear, out the other.

#morninglistening to #WAMozart StringQuintets w/the classic #Grumiaux Trio ++ recording on Philips/@DeccaClassics. Wildly wonderful music, of course, in just about any recording. My fave probably being the TalichQuartet on @LaDolceVolta. Others??
