Mozart: Youth Symphonies

It is true that images have the power to keep a trace of the past. Gottfried von der Goltz and the Freiburger Barockorchestra prove, with this recording, that music, too, conceals the secret of the memory deep within.

Though rarely played, much less recorded, Mozart's youth symphonies bear the reminiscence of the child the composer used to be, as well they include the seeds of his future masterpieces.
The Freiburger Barockorchester fullfils, with this album, the portrait of the brilliant composer, whose influences lie in these symphonies and contredanses, as well as his musical tastes: from the G minor tonality that we hear in the Symphony K. 22 to the aria "Non piu andrai" that can be heard in the first Contredanse, the music of the young Mozart echos to the elder.

Conducted by Gottfried von der Goltz, expert of the repertoire, the orchestra offers a genuine performance and interpretation, delivering the last piece of the Mozart puzzle.
