Info for Doktor Lichtenthals MOZART - Symphonies

The second volume of the series by the title “Doktor Lichtenthals MOZART” by Pandolfis Consort playing on period instruments pre-sents symphonies by W. A. Mozart in chamber music arrangements. Peter Lichtenthal, born Wolfgang Mayer in 1779 in Bratislava, was not only a physician, but also a composer and author, including of two Mozart biographies, to which high authenticity can be attributed due to his acquaintance with Constanze Mozart and his two sons Carl and Franz. As a great admirer of the genius Mozart, he created numerous transcriptions of Mozart’s works to make them performable in a small private setting. In this case, the symphonies No. 40 in G minor, K. 550, and “Jupiter” No. 41 in C major, K. 551, are set for string quintet.

Pandolfis Consort

The Pandolfis Consort
was founded in 2004 by Elzieta Sajka-Bachler, viola player und graduate of Krakow Music Academy to bring rarely performed works by famous or forgotten composers to a wider public. The name comes from the violin maker Giuseppe Galieri Pandolfis, who was probably of Greek descent and was a student of Nicola Amati.

The ensemble's repertoire contains some 500 works and extends from early Baroque to Classical to modern music and also includes contemporary compositions written for the Consort. The ensemble's period instruments set composers the interesting task of adapting their modern tonal language and in this way finding new sounds. In 2012 the ensemble gave the first performances of commissioned compositions by Johanna Doderer (Austria) and Stanley Grill (USA) and, in Innsbruck in 2014, of two works by Tyrolean composer, Franz Baur.
