| |  | Leopold Mozart - Symphonies
Leopold Mozart’s reputation has suffered more than that of most of his professional contemporaries, due in no small measure to the fame of his peerless son and to much spiteful and ill-informed criticism over the past 200 years. Yet he was an acute and sardonic observer of men and morals, a superlative critic and teacher and, as this recording shows, a fine composer whose works circulated well beyond the confines of Salzburg and made the name Mozart famous before it became immortal. This disc includes the perennially popular ‘Toy Symphony’. “If Mallon and his Toronto band… sometimes sound a tad decorous. Rhythms and phrasing are always alert, while ratchet, snare drum, bird whistle and other assorted interlopers patently enjoy themselves in the Toy Symphony.” Gramophone Magazine, May 2009 | | | (also available to download from $6.25) | Usually despatched in 2 - 3 working days.

“Sir Neville Marriner here collects a miscellaneous group of popular classical and Baroque pieces in characteristically polished and elegant performances. The only roughness – and that deliberate – is in the extra toy percussion of Leopold Mozart's Cassation, with its long- misattributed Toy Symphony. The anonymous extra soloists enjoy themselves as amateurs might, not least on a wind machine, but what's very hard to take is the grotesquely mismatched cuckoo-whistle, an instrument which should readily be tunable.
Eine kleine Nachtmusik brings a performance plainly designed to caress the ear of traditional listeners wearied with period performance. The second-movement Romanze is even more honeyed than usual on muted strings. The oddity of the Pachelbel item is that the celebrated Canon – taken unsentimentally if sweetly at a flowing speed – is given a reprise after the fugue. The recording is warm and well balanced.” Gramophone Classical Music Guide, 2010 | | (Sorry, download not available in your country) | |
