Music reviews of Leopold Mozart: Four Symphonies

Music Review: Pleasant
Rating: 5 Stars

If your sole acquaintance with the music of Leopold Mozart is with his Toy Symphony, this CD should provide much intellectual substance. Leopold was a highly accomplished composer. The works on this CD, from the 1750's and 1760's, show much inventiveness, even if they have none of the melodic inspiration of his son's work. The attention to structure is always interesting--these are three and four movement works--and Leopold's sense of harmony is keen. My first acquaintance with Georg Mais and the Lithuanian Chamber Orchestra came in the '90's with releases on the Excelsior label marketed by Sam Goody. They are an estimable ensemble, playing with precision and taste if not with the sumptuous string tone of groups like the Academy of St. Martin-in-the-Fields or the English Chamber Orchestra. Their work on this album is refreshingly vivid, and is captured in very good, detailed sound engineering. You will enjoy Leopold Mozart's music in its own right, as well as for the experience of the sensibility of the man who formulated his great son's education.

Description of Leopold Mozart: Four Symphonies

Leopold Mozart (1719-1787) was a fine musician and composer, widely admired and only forgotten because of his even more brilliant son, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. He wrote approximately 70 symphonies of his own, some of which have been lost, and they apparently made a great impression on his son. In Wolfgang?s earliest symphonies, written in his childhood, strong influences of his father are recognizable. The Lithuanian Chamber Orchestra Vilnius was founded 30 years ago. Their collaboration with conductor Georg Mais began in 1994 with numerous concerts in Lithuania and central Europe.
