Mozart: Horn Concertos

This were the Horn Concertos from Brilliant CD 2-15. Lovely pieces them all. This has to be among highlights of Mozart work, at least for naïve Blisteners.
Besides the enjoyable listening, I found the rather shocking track 15, which is a replay of track 9, the Rondo, Allegro from the Horn Concerto in D, KV 412. This one has Giorgio Mereu yelling Mozart's command on the execution. It is rather startling to imagine what is a Classical Music Composer (ooh!!) interrupting his own music.
Though I have heard that this happened with Mozart, the impression when listening is a bit bothering.
