Synopsis

Amazon.com

Here is a wonderful bargain, three major works in fine mono sound led by one of the greatest conductors of the 20th century. Hans Rosbaud was probably best known for his pioneering work with contemporary composers from Stravinsky to Ligeti. But he was a superb conductor of the classical repertoire as well. Here he performs the improbable task of getting the mighty Berlin Philharmonic to play Haydn and Mozart with the kind of clarity and attention to detail we have come to expect from period instrument groups, and with more expression than we usually get from those ensembles. Wolfgang Schneiderhan, an unjustly neglected violinist, plays very stylish Mozart as well. Highest recommendation! --Leslie Gerber

CD Reviews

A reissue including two of the greatest Haydn readings ever.

(5 out of 5 stars)

"The awful U.S.Decca lp pressings could not tarnish these great Rosbaud performances.He combined a laserlike ability to clarify the score with tremendous grace,energy, and feeling.Try the third movement trio and the fourth movement coda of 104- both of which have always struck me as Haydn's poignant farewells to the symphony-for examples of this rare combination of conducting skills. The Mozart was originally coupled in the U.S. with a WS/BPO Mozart 5th concerto conducted by Ferdinand Leitner. The #4 is very fine, especially in a quite bouyant third movement. I can enjoy the rest, but would like a slightly quicker first movement. Rivals: Szell/Cleveland/Sony in 92 and both Jochum(DGG) and Colin Davis (Philips)in 104. Grumiaux/Davis (Philips) are a bit livelier in the first movement of the Mozart. Summing up: this is a desert island disc"
