Mozart: Oboe Concerto In C major, K314

“A very musical and appealing performance… altogether a disc with much polished and sensitive playing.” 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 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

“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

“Paul Meyer… plays beautifully, with smooth, silken tone, immaculate dynamic control and unfailingly sensitive phrasing. …in the lightweight Oboe Concerto. Françoise Leleux gives a thoroughly delightful performance, sweet and pure of tone, nimble of articulation and relishing the work's airy grace and puckish wit. ...David Guerrier shows himself equally accomplished on the horn and trumpet. His beauty of tone and subtle control of colour create the best case for Leopold's potentially tedious Trumpet Concerto. But while his refined, understated approach to the Horn Concerto K495 (the one with the finale immortalised by Flanders and Swann) brings rewards in the first two movements, it does slightly mute the finale's fun and mischief.” Gramophone Magazine, April 2006
