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.

Mozart: Symphonies 1/1

Many many symphonies by Mozart.

I make a general comment now on KV16,19,19a,22,43,45 (Brilliant's Vol 1-CD1). They are so proper. So honest and straightforward. It causes joy just by itself, without having to "discover" things and intentions. It is the work of a child trying to make his big entrance into the adult's world, to make the father proud. And sure does.
