Mozart: Symphonies No. 28, 33, 35, 39-41, etc.

Content introduction

★A masterpiece of extremely detailed cells. A collection of all of Mozart's symphonies recorded in stereo. A two-disc set containing all the stereo recordings of Mozart symphonies that Sell left for the Cleveland Orchestra and Sony Classical. All of them are permeated by a harsh beauty, and the poignant state of mind that seems to peer into the deep abyss of life, especially seen in the later symphonies, is fully expressed without any gaps or waste. Free from romantic indulgence or dramatic exaggeration, the music offers a muscular, firm classical beauty. Sel's interpretation of Mozart does not have the elegant softness of the Viennese style that was celebrated in Mozart's performances in the first half of the 20th century, but by stripping away the pretensions and getting closer to the essence of the work, it is as if Mozart's true form is revealed. The overtures ``The Marriage of Figaro'' and ``Theatre Manager'' are all of the Mozart overture recordings that Sell made in stereo. 2 CD set
