Synopsis

Album Description

When on his grand tour of Europe, Leopold Mozart visited the electoral residence with his children and had the opportunity to experience the Mannheim Hofkapelle. Shortly thereafter, Leopold related his impressions to his friend Lorenz Hagenauer in Salzburg. This expert on the European music scene, who was anything but lavish with his praise, wrote, "This orchestra is beyond dispute the best in Germany." Director of this first-class ensemble was the 31-year old Christian Cannabich. No one else's biography is bound as closely with the history of the Mannheim School as his.

CD Reviews

Well done!!!

(5 out of 5 stars)

".... excellent performance of one of THE most significant (and least recognized) mentors of Mozart's symphonic development......... Cannabich was a good family friend of the Mozarts, and his world-class Mannheim orchestra is clearly on Wolfgang's mind in many an early Mozart composition........ You can see (hear) why, when you listen to this very well done recording and catch the spirit and charm of Cannabich's revolutionary approach to symphonic writing........if you're familiar with Haydn's sturm und drang work, or CPE Bach's, then hold on to your hat...... and FYI, this disc doesn't duplicate the works contained on 2 previous Naxos CD's, both excellent and also recommended.........enjoy"
