After the widespread acclaim for their previous recordings of C.P.E. Bach and Haydn, the musicians of the Resonanz Ensemble of Hamburg pursue their explorations on instruments with a ‘modern’ set-up.

Here they tackle Mozart’s last three symphonies which, it is generally agreed, “require no introduction.” And yet Riccardo Minasi does much more than introduce them: he reintroduces them to us.

The rhetorical, if not theatrical, dimension of the celebrated trilogy comes into full focus here and the result is irresistible.
