Wenn Mozart sich einer populären Gattung wie der Serenade annimmt, dann um sie zu überhöhen und ihr den Adelsbrief zu verleihen. Seine Gran Partita ist ein festliches, dabei schlichtes und gefühlsbetontes Meisterwerk, das rasch zu einem gro�en Erfolg wurde. Mit den kontrastierenden, betörenden Farben ihrer historischen Instrumente machen die Mitglieder der Akademie für Alte Musik Berlin diese beiden ungewöhnlichen Serenaden, die ein frischer Wind der Freiheit durchweht, zu einem reizvollen Klangerlebnis. - .. WIND SERENADE
This CD presents Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's masterful wind serenades, including the celebrated "Gran Partita" (likely KV 361) and the companion work KV 375, performed by the renowned Akademie für Alte Musik Berlin. The recording focuses on the refined transparency, warm tonal colors, and chamber-musical intimacy that make these late 18th-century serenades so unique. Long, singing lines in the slow movements contrast with lively, gracefully articulated minuets and finales, allowing the intricate interplay of oboes, clarinets, basset horns, bassoons, and horns to emerge in all its detail. The ensemble's historically informed approach highlights period phrasing, articulation, and balance, bringing out both the grandeur and the intimacy of these works and revealing why the "Gran Partita" is considered one of the peaks of the wind repertoire.
