Katharina Arfken (oboe), Donna Agrell (bassoon) & Teunis van der Zwart (horn)
Freiburger Barockorchester, Gottfried von der Goltz
“Van der Zwart responds with great humour and technical panache to these good-natured works. (He is especially amusing exploiting the flatulence of extreme low notes in the first-movement cadenza of No 4.)…
Von der Goltz's robust, earthy way with Mozart, bringing this music out of the salon and into the open air, sets the seal on this outstanding issue.” Sunday Times Classical CD of the Week
“Teunis van der Zwart's brazen tones, piquant stopped notes and swaggering gait in the horn concertos are irresistible.” Gramophone Magazine
“Gottfried von der Goltz, a very talented conductor, clear-sightedly balances his sharp-witted period instrument forces… Mostly, von der Goltz adapts to individual interpretations without sacrificing his own strengths; and they scintillate in his partnership with Teunis Van der Zwart whose brazen tones, piquant stopped notes and swaggering gait in the horn concertos are irresistible.” Gramophone Magazine, October 2007
“Van der Zwart's supreme agility makes the added technical challenges of using that instrument hardly relevant, and the whole performance has a lightness of touch and an athletic exuberance that are totally convincing.” The Guardian
