Press comments:

"Andrew Manze gives performances that for inventiveness, impish fun and close, conspiratorial rapport between soloist and orchestra have never been bettered. The palm now goes to Manze, in symbiotic partnership with the superb English Concert and beautifully recorded by Harmonia Mundi." Richard Wigmore, The Gramophone

"Andrew Manze’s exhilarating issue of three Mozart concertos with the English Concert proves that for total original- instrument refreshment nothing beats going the whole hog." Geoff Brown, The Times

" do not expect the Mozart anniversary junketings to throw up a more joyous disc." Richard Wigmore, Daily Telegraph

"a set of performances that caress the poeticism of the music. Above all, there's a sense of conviviality and fun. Mozart, I'm sure, would have approved." Kenneth Walton, The Scotsman
