Mozart : Gran Partita
Label: harmonia mundi Catalog: 987071 Format: CD Moonwinds, cond. Joan Enric LlunaAlong with contemporaries,. Mozart was often called upon to fulfill the aristocracy's musical requests destined for all kinds of society events. He, for sure, knew how to provide a much profounder dimension to any genre which did not normally have too many expectations placed upon it and the gran partita, without losing its playful aim, is a superb example of this. In a similar way, the divertimentos of Martín y Soler on Una cosa rara, and of Went on Die 'Entfübrung aus dem Serail', fill out an accurate portrait of what was, in 18th century, music meant for nobles. |
