Roger NorringtonAbout
Roger Norrington used exactly the same orchestral forces for each symphony as at their first performance (the smallest was a mere 18 players). The first and second violins sat opposite each other, the winds stood in lines either side, and a harpsichord played in the middle. Tempos followed the most recent research. Bow strokes, articulation and phrasing were carefully studied, and the orchestra naturally played without modern vibrato.
All the albums in this edition contain a symphony from each of Mozart’s early, middle and late periods. The last four symphonies, however, which Mozart wrote for Paris and Vienna, were played in a much grander and experimental manner, using 24 violins and 16 woodwind instruments. Very occasionally Mozart experienced a ‘monster orchestra’ (almost equivalent to today’s normal size). It happened first on his extended visit to Paris, and then again in Vienna, where he considered one such large ensemble to be ‘magnifique’.
