Mozart: Essential Symphonies

The Mozart symphonies on this album were recorded within two weeks at the European Music Festival Stuttgart in September 2006. More than 20 symphonies, ranging from the earliest to the last ten, were chosen to represent the superb range of the composer's output, while the aim was to recreate as far as possible the playing style of the period. Roger Norrington used the exact orchestra size of each symphony at its first performance.
