André Previn (conductor) Warner Classics 7777473555 (download only) 'Gran Partita' as a subtitle implies that Mozart's Serenade No. 10 is a large ambitious work, and although the work is clearly Previn: Honey and Rue, Barber: Knoxville: Summer of 1915, Op. conceived as a whole 'cycle', it was not ascribed to the score by 24 and music from Gershwin’s Porgy and Bess the composer himself. Mozart's vast seven-movement work for Kathleen Battle (soprano) 13 wind instruments has an elusive compositional history and Orchestra Of St. Luke's was thought for a long time to have been composed in 1780 or André Previn (conductor) 1781 for a performance in Munich. No mention of the Serenade Deutsche Grammophon 4377872 appears in any of Mozart's letters from that time and, in the https://www.deutschegrammophon.com/en/catalogue/products/ 1970s, when the new critical edition of Mozart's works was kathleen-battle-honey-and-rue-89 published, after exhaustive studies of the autograph, it is now believed that the work was first performed in 1784 at a benefit Zemlinsky: Lyrische Symphonie & Sinfonische Gesänge concert for the Vienna-based basset-horn player Anton Stadler. Alessandra Marc (soprano) The Serenade also bears the hallmarks of Mozart's later writing Håkan Hagegård (baritone) and certainly postdates the two wind serenades in E flat and C Willard White (bass) minor that were definitely composed in 1782. Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra Riccardo Chailly (conductor) The mysterious circumstances of both the subtitle 'Gran Partita' Decca 4435692 and the many versions of the score give the performer some interesting challenges, which Sarah Devonald discusses with Willard White sings Copland Andrew McGregor.
