About This Item
In 1953, Nikolaus Harnoncourt founded the Concentus Musicus with colleagues from Karajan's Vienna Symphony Orchestra. His Inchancient musicInch ensemble never pursued a revolution InchMusicology and historical instruments are not an end in themselvesInch, says Harnoncourt, InchI prefer an interpretation that is historically uninformed but musically alive.Inch After decades playing and recording Baroque works on historical instruments, he extended his repertoire to Classic, Romantic and 20th-Century music, conducting Europe's top InchmodernInch orchestras. InchMozart was no innovator, but his personal style has an unfathomable grandeur. Whoever plays his music with a modern orchestra must absolutely explore the original sound characteristics.Inch This box set highlights both Harnoncourt's recordings with the Concentus' ancient instrumentarium, and his new approach with Amsterdam's Concertgebouw, always historically informed, groundbreaking, brimming with emotion.
