Mozart / Wurttembergische Philharmonie Reutlingen - Orchestral Works - SUPER-AUDIO CD [Super Audio CD (SACD)]

Continuing the recording series of instrumental music by Eduard Franck which already includes his Violin Concertos Op. 30 and Op. 57, and also his Symphonies Op. 42 and Op. 47, now presents Franck's orchestral works. Once again, we hear music of the highest technical quality as well as a characteristic idiom. All were written during the 1840s when Franck set out on his career as a composer, attracting the interest of the music critics who from this time onwards were increasingly to influence musical history. The works recorded here reveal an attractive amalgamation of classicist and progressive trends, referring on the one hand to Schumann and Brahms, and on the other to Wagner and Liszt. They more than hold their own as original contributions to nineteenth century instrumental music.

Mozart's early bassoon concerto KV 191 is one of the best known of it's kind, offering the soloist a lot of opportunities to show off their virtuosic skills effectively. Together with the popular Piano Concerto KV 467, the soloists and the Argovia Philharmonic present themselves as outstandingly well-rehearsed team players on this recording. InchHisako Kawamura is a brilliant talent. In contrast to the majority of pianists who blind you with technique, she is able to listen to the music in new way and has impeccable taste and sensitivity. Such quality is very rare Kawamura is born for the stage.Inch (Elisso Virssaladze) Bassoonist Andrea Cellacchi performs with orchestras across Italy and abroad, and most recently was awarded the Medal of the Italian Chamber of Deputies in recognition of his great talent.
