Sir Colin Davis Conducts Mozart Serenades & Overtu
) | Label: SONY CLASSICAL Catalog: 19439912922 Format: CD Sir Colin DavisSony Classical is pleased to announce a new batch of reissues from the CBS/Sony and RCA Victor/BMG back catalogues. This latest instalment of the popular series showcases Mozart and Chopin along with conductor Robert Craft’s pioneering Webern recordings and the global journeys of that irrepressible musical explorer Yo-Yo Ma. Sir Colin Davis was indisputably one of the greatest Mozart conductors of the last century, both in the opera house and in the recording studio. In Munich in the early 1990s, near the end of his tenure as chief conductor of the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra, he recorded several of the popular serenades and wind concertos (“Davis is completely at home in this music and brings to it grandeur and delicacy in good measure and judicious balance” – Gramophone). And in 1998, as the Dresden Staatskapelle’s first-ever conductor laureate, he recorded twelve opera overtures (“Beautifully turned string playing, wonderful contributions from the wind section, and transparent textures: it all represents splendid ‘big band’ Mozart in the modern tradition” – Classics Today). These superb RCA recordings are now reissued in a 4-album box set.SET CONTENTSCD 1Serenade No. 13 in G major "Eine kleine Nachtmusik" K 525Concerto for Clarinet and Orchestra in A major K 622Serenade No. 11 in E-flat major K 375Karl-Heinz Steffens, clarinet - Symphonieorchester des Bayerischen RundfunksCD 2Concerto for Bassoon and Orchestra in B-flat major K 191 (186e)Serenade No. 9 in D major "Posthorn" K 320Eberhard Marschall, bassoon - Symphonieorchester des Bayerischen RundfunksCD 3Serenade No. 10 in B-flat major "Gran Partita" K 361 (370a)Serenade No. 12 in C minor "Nacht-Musique" K 388Winds of the Symphonieorchester des Bayerischen RundfunksCD 4Overtures: Le nozze di FigaroBastien et BastienneDer SchauspieldirektorLucio SillaCosi fan tutteLa finta giardinieraDie Entfuhrung aus dem SerailIl re pastoreIdomeneoLa clemenza di TitoDon GiovanniDie ZauberfloteSachsische Staatskapelle Dresden  Price: $33.98 |
