It is the 250th anniversary of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. Wolfgang Mozart was born in 1756 in Salzburg, Austria. His musical talents revealed themselves at a tender age. Well before his teens father Leopold took him and his likewise gifted older sister Nannerl on several tours through Europe. Soon he became a widely known and admired child prodigy of an unsurpassed class of his own. Already at eight years old his first music was being published. It was the beginning of an astonishing career. The sheer amount of music he wrote is, with hindsight, incredible and of high quality. Amadeus must have written very fast to manage composing the over 600 works he left to posterity. His manuscripts hardly contain any deletions. Mozart’s versatility is impressive too. He wrote anything from simple canons for keyboard to large-scale symphonies and operas on a great variety of librettos. He often wrote for patrons, people he could dedicate work to, so he would get paid in return. Other works were his own initiative. In his music Mozart assimilated earlier and contemporary influences, like Bach’s, Haydn’s and Italian flavours, to develop a style entirely his own. This music has a special quality: it is accessible without being overtly simple. Some of his work has an uncanny beauty beyond description. Mozart’s music also has a certain vulnerability. Yet no rational explanation can be given why it is appealing to so many people. Wolfgang Mozart only lived to be 35 years old. He died on December 5 1791 as a result of a still unidentified illness. Ironically his last composition was a(n unfinished) Requiem. These days he is considered one of the greatest, if not the greatest composer of all time. 250 YEARS MOZART JUBILEE COLLECTION MOZART MOZART MOZART The Great Symphonies Vol. 1 The Great Symphonies Vol. 2 The Great Piano Concertos Vol. 1 KV 111a - KV 130 - KV 132 - KV 182 - KV 183 KV 202 - KV 297 “Paris” - KV 425 “Linzer” No. 1 KV 37 - No. 11 KV 413 - No. 15 KV 450 KV 184 - KV 196 - KV 201 - KV 318 - KV 319 KV 504 “Prague” - KV 543 No. 20 KV 466 - No. 21 KV 467 “Elvira Madigan” KV 338 - KV 385 “Haffner” KV 550 - KV 551 “Jupiter” No. 22 KV 482 - No. 23 KV 488 - No. 25 KV 503 Mozart Akademie Amsterdam, Jaap ter Linden Mozart Akademie Amsterdam, Jaap ter Linden Derek Han, piano Philharmonia Orchestra, Paul Freeman 3 Catalogue no. 92863 3 Catalogue no. 92864 3 Catalogue no. 92865 CD CD CD 35 92860 BCCatalogus06V4 21-12-2005 15:12 Pagina 6 CD 250 YEARS MOZART JUBILEE COLLECTION MOZART MOZART MOZART The Great Piano Concertos Vol. 2 Wind Concertos The Complete Violin Concertos KV 41 - KV 271 “Jeunehomme” Clarinet Concerto - Flute/Harp Concerto Concertgebouw Chamber Orchestra, KV 449 - KV 456 - KV 491 Flute Concertos - Oboe Concerto Eduardo Marturet KV 537 “Coronation Concerto” - KV 595 Sinfonia Concertante Amati Chamber Orchestra, Gil Sharon Nieuw Sinfonietta Amsterdam, Lev Markiz Derek Han, piano English Chamber Orchestra, Raymond Leppard Emmy Verhey, violin Philharmonia Orchestra, Paul Freeman Gil Sharon, violin Marc Grauwels, flute Yuri Gandelsman, viola Giselle Herbert, harp Les Violons du Roy, Bernard Labadie Peter-Lukas Graf, flute Bart Schneemann, oboe Jacob Slagter, horn Ronald Karten, bassoon Harmen de Boer, clarinet 3 Catalogue no. 92866 3 Catalogue no. 92867 3 Catalogue no. 92868 CD CD CD MOZART MOZART MOZART The Great Serenades The Great Piano Sonatas The Great String Quartets Haffner Serenade - Posthorn Serenade KV 311 - KV 330 - KV 331 KV 387 - KV 421 Serenata Notturna - Eine kleine Nachtmusik KV 332 - KV 333 - KV 457 KV 428 - KV 458 Salzburg Divertimenti KV 533 - KV 545 - KV 570 - KV 576 KV 464 - KV 465 The Great String Quartets Symphonie-orchester des Bayerischen Rundfunks, Klára Würtz, piano Sir Colin Davis Franz Schubert Quartet of Vienna Franz Liszt Chamber Orchestra, János Rolla Kurpfälzisches Kammerorchester Mannheim, Florian Heyerick 3 Catalogue no. 92869 3 Catalogue no. 92871 3 Catalogue no. 92872 CD CD CD 6 92860 BCCatalogus06V4 21-12-2005 15:12 Pagina 7 250 YEARS MOZART JUBILEE COLLECTION CD MOZART Chamber Music Clarinet Quintet KV 581 - Horn Quintet KV 407 Oboe Quartet KV 407 - Piano Quintet KV 452 Kegelstadt Trio KV 498 - Flute Quartets MOZART The Great Masses Brandis Quartet Klára Würtz, piano Great Mass in C minor KV 427 Marc Grauwels,flute Krönungsmesse KV 317 a.o.
