Harnoncourt's interpretation of Mozart, full of tension and dynamism
Conducted by Harnoncourt, the meticulous performance recreates the power of classical style, while the flexible sound of the Concertgebouw Orchestra accentuates the beauty of the work's construction.
This outstanding performance stands out among Harnoncourt's Mozart symphonies, which he tackled from an early music perspective. His sharp articulation and clear sense of rhythm create a tense atmosphere throughout, with each instrument organically intertwining. The tempo is not too fast, achieving both density of sound and beautiful spacing. The Concertgebouw Orchestra's rich strings and the transparent sound of the wind instruments harmonize to convey both clarity of structure and depth of emotion.
