Mozart: The Symphonies

The critically acclaimed series of the Mozart symphonies featuring Sir Charles Mackerras conducting the Prague Chamber Orchestra has been repackaged in a specially priced 10 CD slim-line boxed set. The CDs are in cardboard wallets and the box will fit in a standard CD display rack. This series of recordings by Sir Charles Mackerras and the Prague Chamber Orchestra, begun in 1986, was guided by the research of Sir Charles and some of the most eminent Mozart scholars of our day in terms of size and placement of the orchestra, the use of repeats, articulation and tempi. The Prague Chamber Orchestra's tradition of Mozart performances dates back 200 years. "Sir Charles Mackerras's recordings of the late Mozart symphonies with the Prague Chamber Orchestra for Telarc have established the exceptionally high standard of this series…… fresh, alert performances on an apt scale using modern instruments, recorded in a pleasantly warm acoustic." Edward Greenfield, Gramophone. Includes Nos. '42', '44','45', '46', '47', '55'
