Maxim Emelyanychev and Il Pomo d’Oro continue their uncommon Mozart symphony series. The idea is the following: put together great symphonies of the late Mozart and youth pieces.
Maxim Emelyanychev, who has already gathered the first and the last symphonies on the first volume – ‘the beginning and the end’ (Aparté) – has chosen to record the symphony no. 29 and the legendary no. 40 in the present volume.
The ensemble makes us follow Mozart, from Salzburg to Vienna, in the yearning for liberty his life was. Perfectly suited to this repertoire, Maxim Emelyanychev uses the exceptional and period- instrumented sonority of Il Pomo d’Oro to deliver a dramatic and powerful Symphony no. 40, while rendering all the lyricism and contrasts of the no. 29.
The Oboe concerto, interpreted by the soloist Ivan Podyomov, first oboe at the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra, adds a concertante supplement to this programme.
