About

After a decade immersed in the great Mozart Operas (to universal critical acclaim), René Jacobs returns with his outstanding Freiburg Baroque to the late symphonies. As with his previous recordings, his unique approach to these works from an operatic perspective brings new life to these scores, particularly in terms of phrasing and the clarity of texture.

In his own words: "A lot of people think period instrument performance means everything fast. I stick very much to the drama and the delivery of speech. I know that, say, Mozart's own tempi were faster than what is now usual, but, on the other hand, there are also moments when time must stand still."

René Jacobs’s Mozart opera series [is] one of the recorded marvels of our time” - James Jolly, Gramophone, February 2009
