Michael Alexander WillensAbout
In comparison, Eine kleine Nachtmusik – the last serenade Mozart wrote – is for strings only. It is also shorter than many of the other serenades, and was probably intended for a more intimate occasion. Mozart’s own thematic catalogue lists it as having five movements, but as the first minuet and trio (preceding the slow movement) have been lost, only four are typically performed today. In this recording a minuet from Mozart’s very first string quartet in G major, K80, is incorporated by way of completion of the five-movement arch.
Reviews
Eine kleine is something completely different... The Cologne Academy’s period instruments impart a welcome, grainier texture than some more sumptuously upholstered modern-instrument recordings. ... Undemanding, yes, but an hour and a quarter of pleasurable music in fine performances. David Threasher
