Mozart: Eine kleine Nachtmusik & Posthorn Serenade - 8907

Amazon.com The Prague Chamber Orchestra contributes some very good string playing to this Mozart reading by Sir Charles Mackerras. The approach is modern but well informed, with clean, light, agile, and luminous results. Mackerras observes the repeats (including that of the first movement recapitulation) and chooses excellent tempos. The Romance is especially lovely. Telarc's recording yields a fairly realistic concert-hall perspective, but the distant pickup and reverberation tend to muddy the texture a little. The coupling is an excellent account of the Posthorn Serenade. --Ted Libbey Product description Mozart - Eine Kleine Nachtmusik (Serenade In G, K. 525); "Posthorn" Serenade (Serenade No. 9 In D, K. 320) - Sir Charles Mackerras, Prague Chamber Orchestra / Telarc Audio CD 1985 / CD-80108 UPC 089408010828 /// Eine kleine Nachtmusik (Serenade No. 13 for strings in G major), K. 525, is a 1787 composition for a chamber ensemble by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756–1791).
