  • Description

    The Akademie fur Alte Musik Berlin launches a series of Mozart symphonies to appear on Pentatone, starting with the composer's "Paris" and "Haffner" symphonies. On this first album, the works are coupled with his enchanting Oboe Concerto - performed by the ensemble's first oboeist Xenia Loffler - and the bold overture to Die Entfuhrung aus dem Serail in Mozart's own woodwind arrangement. Taken together, these pieces demon-strate the rich palette and expressive power of Mozart's music in the period between 1777 and 1783, during which he finally managed to spread his wings and leave his hometown of Salzburg. The Akademie fur Alte Musik is generally seen as one of the best period-instruments ensembles of today, and has a substantial Pentatone discography, including CANTATA with Bejun Mehta (2018), Handel's Concerti grossi Op. 3 and 6 (released in 2019 and 2020), Telemann's Miriways (2020), Handel's Messiah (2020), Haydn's L'isola disabitata (2021) and La Passione with Christina Landshamer (2022).
