MUZIO CLEMENTI
Clementi: Symphonies Nos. 1-4
Mozarteum Orchester Salzburg, Ivor Bolton

[ Sony Classical / 2 CD ]

Release Date: Thursday 1 June 2017

Muzio Clementi (1752 - 1832) was an Italian-born English composer, pianist, pedagogue, conductor, music publisher, editor, and piano manufacturer. This release features the four symphonies (C Major, G Major, and two in D Major) over 2 discs conducted by the orchestra's esteemed principal conductor Ivor Bolton.

"There's plenty to intrigue and delight in these four symphonies...Bolton brings out both the opera buffa sparkle and the dramatic surprises of the Allegros, gives a lively kick to the rhythms in the minuet-scherzos...and combines affectionate phrasing with a sense of forward motion in the Andantes...warmly recommended." Gramophone Editor's Choice May 2017
