Info for Mozart: Gran Partita - Wind Serenades K. 361 & 375

When Mozart took up the popular genre of the serenade, it was to transcend it and lend it new lustre. A festive masterpiece of simplicity and emotion, his Gran Partita quickly became a genuine ‘hit’! Thanks to the distinctive, spellbinding timbres of their period instruments, the members of the Akademie für Alte Musik Berlin give a unique flavour to these two extraordinary serenades, over which there blows – as it were – a tremendous wind of freedom.

Blazers van de Akademie für Alte Musik hebben Mozarts serenades nr 10 (KV361) beter bekend als “Gran Partita” en nr. 11 (K.375) opgenomen. Beide werken worden uitgevoerd op authentieke instrumenten. Met name de luchtige “Gran Partita” werd in Mozarts tijd een ware hit. Zelfs tot op de dag van vandaag is dit werk nog steeds geliefd is én is het regelmatig op verschillende podia te horen.

"One could argue that the Berlin first basset horn and first bassoon should be more prominent in the mighty K361, but the general effect of period instruments playing these glorious works is exhilaratingly clear-cut and vivid." (Sunday Times)
