About

“One of those rare conductors who seem to get more youthful and enquiring with age, while at the same time his music-making takes on an ever greater profundity.” – Daily Telegraph

This 2 disc set, one of six releases marking Claudio Abbado's 75th birthday, features the Orchestra Mozart, a handpicked group of players founded in Bologna in 2004, with Abbado as their artistic director – and with Giuliano Carmignola as concert-master. Two of the six releases are of Mozart and both recordings bear witness to Abbado’s continuing love of the composer's works.

Abbado has prepared the orchestra by touring throughout Italy – gathering acclaim for their performances, not only for their Mozart, but also Bach (Brandenburg Concertos) and other composers.

There is energy and freshness found in the performances of these five Mozart symphonies, which include the "Haffner", the "Prague" and the "Jupiter". Consider them as Abbado’s “home recordings” of the five symphonies – recorded live from concerts in Bologna, Bolzano, Modena and Ferrara between 2004 and 2006 – giving them an extraordinary, raw energy, with the impact of drama and lyricism at the forefront.

The recordings of Symphonies Nos. 33 and 38 (Prague) are new to Abbado’s discography.
