4.0 out of 5 stars
An agreeably impromptu Haffner Serenade,
By Santa Fe Listener (Santa Fe, NM USA) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER) (HALL OF FAME REVIEWER)
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Mozart: Haffner Serenade (Audio CD)
Mozart wrote a handful of masterpieces in serenade style (some movements are symhonic, others simple dances, loosely gathered together)--the Haffner is distinguished by the prominent solo part, important enough to attract a star like Isaac Stern. He and Rampal joined up on several notable chamber music recordings; here the renowned flutist serves as conductor for his old friend. Stern's tone is a bit thin and his intonation not always perfect, but you hear decades of musicianship in his playing.
Nothing is all that polished, which is one of the nicest things about this performance. It feels impromptu instead of studied, and there is an amiable flow of melody from beginning to end. I wish Sony's digital sound from 1994 were warmer and the timing (62 min.) longer, but this is an engaging Haffner Serenade that I thoroughly enjoyed. |
