Synopsis

Amazon.com
You can buy exactly the same coupling, featuring the same conductor and orchestra, at mid-price on EMI. However, it's a generally recognized fact that Herbert von Karajan's Mozart doesn't show him at his best. The reason is simple: Karajan's fetish for interpretive smoothness hides a lot of interesting musical detail that Mozart puts into his wind and bass parts. There's nothing particularly wrong with these performances, but there's lots more to be heard than Karajan and his orchestra reveal. --David Hurwitz
