Product Description:

Sir Charles Mackerras crowns a superb Mozart symphony cycle with these two marvelous performances, which marry 18th-century performance techniques to the warm tone of modern instruments. He also adds a discrete harpsichord accompaniment to the orchestra, such as might have existed in Mozart's time. With all the repeats taken and tempos swifter than the norm, Sir Charles Mackerras invests these symphonies with uncommon energy and stature. A fine disc which all Mozarteans should hear. --David Hurwitz
