This is a very nice DVD. A good chamber orchestra (Picardy Sinfonietta), a competent conductor (Patrick Fournillier), and outstandings programme and soloist: here, we can watch two of Mozart's better symphonies (29 and 40), the 3rd concert for horn (with that soloist, Radovan Vlatkovic), and a extra number, Rossini's overture from opera "Il Signor Bruschino".
Well, the interpretations are very good. The strings have a very clean sound, and the winds are a joy for the listener. Fournillier choiced the right tempi, and controls well his musicians. And Vlatkovic is perfect in his part, like in his CD of Mozart's Horn Concertos with ECO/Tate.
If you like Mozart's instrumental music, this is a DVD to have.

These guys really play well together. The first movement of the 40th symphony has moments that are breathtaking. I was very impressed with this orchestra - they really play admirably.
Well worth it to buy for any fan of the great Mozart.

I have watched and listened to this beautiful orchestra playing many times on DVD. I never tire of the wonderful music. This is performed by many musicians coming together for a special concert. They were so successful the orchestra has stayed together. This DVD is very inexpensive to buy but very rich in high quality music. I can promise you will not be disapointed.

This is a joyful DVD. A great program and a fine performance. Get this one. You'll love it !
