Director Alexander Janiczek proves the perfect choice to direct the music of his fellow Austrian as he delivers a superb performance in this, his second, recording with the Scottish Chamber Orchestra.

Originally released in 2007, ‘Mozart: Serenades’ has been re-issued as part of Linn’s Echo series which offers a second chance to enjoy the best of the label’s award-winning catalogue.

A disc of wonderfully atmospheric music, impressively and thoughtfully interpreted by the Scottish Chamber Orchestra, this fine example of Mozart’s music embraces each work and delivers an original and unique recording.

K.185, also known as the Andretter Serenade, is notable for being the first Serenade to include a solo violin, played here by director Alexander Janiczek.

The Divertimento, or Concerto, K.113 is significant as the first time Mozart had written for the clarinet, an instrument that was to feature highly in future compositions.
