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 6/1

This is mature Mozart.
Solid melodies, bass melodies, timbral balancing.

Symphony #25 is one of the very very few (2, perhaps?) works composed in minor mode.
To me, it sounds like a hurt but valiant anti-hero, or a rusted magnificence.

This is music to be heard indefinitely.
