This is not just another Mozart CD.
‘Heavenly’ is a title well-merited, and I encourage listening with good quality equipment and scores to hand for an enhanced experience. The Australian Romantic & Classical Orchestra’s considered analysis of Mozart’s scores and detailed attention to late C18th playing techniques results in bold, enterprising and singularly meaningful readings, encapsulating the music’s power, spirit, refinement and sheer beauty.
The collective playing is a revelation, exhibiting exemplary ensemble and ravishing sonorities, capturing the essence of Mozart’s intentions most convincingly. Performances such as these put Australia at the very forefront of the HIP movement.
