Mozart (Nipper Series)

Two CDs filled with Mozart’s genius, captured in performances from the world’s greatest catalogue of recorded music ... Symphonies, operas, concertos, choral works and more, all illuminated by the composer’s seemingly effortless flow of inspiration. The elegant surface of Mozart’s music exemplifies the refinement and balance of the late 18th century, but it is also charged with a subtle, yet profound emotional power.
