CD featuring Mozart's Symphony No. 40 and No. 41, conducted by Peter Maag. - Composer: W.A. MOZART - Symphony No.: 40 K.550 - Symphony No.: 41 K.551 - Conductor: Peter Maag - Orchestra: Orchestra di Padova e del Veneto - Recording Year: 1996 - Label: ARTS Peter Maag, who gained fame as a specialist in Mendelssohn and Mozart, left many excellent performances of famous pieces with the Orchestra di Padova e del Veneto, a rising Italian orchestra, for the German label ARTS in the latter half of his career, after leaving Decca. This is a stroke of good fortune for classical music lovers. This disc was recorded by Maag and the Veneto Orchestra between February and March 1996. The performance style is not the light-hearted playing often found in chamber orchestras, but rather dignified and large-scale, and the ensemble is extremely refined, depicting the world of Mozart and offering sincere music without affectation. This masterpiece of Mozart symphonies is recommended for both classical music beginners and veteran listeners. Thank you for viewing.
