Both cassations KV 63 KV and 99 of the 13-year-old Mozart are among the earliest surviving serenades, and occupy the whole mastery of the young genius. These Inchoccasional piecesInch arrived at the Salzburg public good and thus to 1779 followed numerous other orchestral serenades and Divertiemnti for festive occasions. Sigiswald Kuijken and La Petite Bande make this little-known Unterhaltunsgmusiken Mozart a musical treat. Import Hybrid-SACD pressing.

Forty years have passed since Gidon Kremer created a little musical oasis in the Austrian town of Lockenhaus in 1981. The violinist's open-minded attitude has left it's mark on this event, which has become a must in the concert calendar, and the cellist Nicolas Altstaedt, who took up the torch in 2012, continues the same philosophy. For this fortieth anniversary, he has decided to call on composers who have come to Lockenhaus or had works performed there in the past ten years. Hence the program contains two premieres - the cello concertos of Raphaël Merlin and Helena Winkelman - but also short pieces by Erkki-Sven Tüür, Esa-Pekka Salonen, Lera Auerbach, Patkop, Maja Ratkje, Matan Porat, Kurt Schwertsik and Johannes Fischer.
