Mozart: Youth Symphonies:

Description

It is true that images have the power to keep a trace of the past. Gottfried von der Goltz and the Freiburger Barockorchester prove with this recording that music too conceals the secret of the memory deep within. Though rarely played, much less recorded, Mozart’s ‘Youth Symphonies’ bear the reminiscence of the child the composer used to be, as well as including the seeds of his future masterpieces. With this album The Freiburger Barockorchester fulfil the portrait of the brilliant composer, whose influences lie in these ‘Symphonies’ and ‘Contredanses’, as well as his musical tastes: from the G minor tonality that we hear in the ‘Symphony, K. 22’ to the aria ‘Non piu andrai’ that can be heard in the first ‘Contredanse’ – the music of the young Mozart echoes to the elder. Conducted by Gottfried von der Goltz, expert of the repertoire, the orchestra offers a genuine performance and interpretation.
