Leopold Mozart: Die Bauernhochzeit, Musikalische Schlittenfahrt, Sinfonia burlesca

This is a very nice, simple CD. It's value is markedly historical, but nevertheless the music is good to listen to. The Ensemble Eduard Melkus plays authentic instruments, which adds fullness to the sonic experience. And precisely, due to the comments written by the author himself, we know how he thought of his instrumentation for the enjoyment of the pieces.
On Josef Starzer 10 Dances, I cannot say much; they are simple, enjoyable, unpretetntious, but well finished.

Paganini: Concerto per violino e orchestra #1

Niccolò Paganini's violin concerto is fantastic anytime, but the second part is splendid for a peaceful weekend morning.
I now rename Perpetuela as "Flight of the Hummingbird", especially confirmed in the passage where the violin hovers in the background, and the flute comes in.
Salvatore Accardo does a magnificent job. Charles Dutoit conducts the London Philharmonic Orchestra, Galleria Deutsche-Grammophon CD.
