Serenades

Founded in 1841 under the participation of Constanze Mozart, the Mozarteumorchester Salzburg today enjoys the highest reputation worldwide for it's lively and style-conscious Mozart interpretations. In numerous ways, it connects the Viennese Classical period to the music of the 19th/20th, and 21st centuries. The orchestras' constant preoccupation with his core repertoire also shapes it's approach to the music of later periods. Thus chamber-musical transparency, articulatory clarity, and nuanced sonority are a trademark that makes the Mozarteum Orchestra special and recognizable, also when playing the music of other composers. This CD is the first release of a series, which begins at the orchestras' programmatical core: Mozart, and ventures onto Richard Strauss, Anton Bruckner and Hans Werner Henze.
