Leopold Mozart's compositional output is largely lost, primarily due to his son Wolfgang Amadé's handling of his father's legacy after his death.
Performer Biography
Fabrice Millischer, the trombonist on this album, is the only person to have won first prize in the trombone category at the renowned ARD Competition.
Performer Biography
Reinhard Goebel, the conductor, is celebrated as an 'icon of Early Music' and has significantly contributed to the rediscovery of composers like Telemann and J.C. Bach.
Critical Reception
Leopold Mozart's Symphony in G major, known as the 'New' Lambach, was once controversially attributed to his son Wolfgang Amadé due to its high quality.
Compositional Technique
Serenades in the mid-18th century often began with a loud, attention-grabbing first movement, followed by a second movement with easily hummable melodies, and included a solo interlude (concertino) for an unexpected instrument.
Composer's Artistic Vision
Leopold Mozart remained an independent composer representing the Rococo style of South German monasteries, even after traveling to major art centers, while allowing his son Wolfgang Amadé to develop his own style.
Composition History
The Serenade in D major, featured on this album, was discovered in the 1970s in the Lower Austrian monastery of Seitenstetten.
