"Four Stars ... they are generous, big-boned accounts, dramatically charged and embroidered with telling, sometimes delightfully surprising detail." - The Guardian "Anyone who admires Bruggen’s approach ... is going to be delighted with these performances. Very impressive achievement. Wonderful sound ... these performances have such imagination and stature. The live recorded sound is excellent." - International Record Review "Brüggen gets a bright, majestic sound from the woodwind and brass ... this is very much a classical account with clean, clear, expressive contrasts in an acoustic which somewhat favours the wind, but not generally overmuch ... Brüggen brings deeply thought through and satisfying readings with a wealth of contrast, spontaneity and capacity to surprise." - MusicWeb International Recorded live in Rotterdam in March 2010, this performance of Mozart's last three symphonies from the Orchestra of the Eighteenth Century and conductor Frans Brüggen comes three decades after the same team last documented the works. Brüggen revisits the contrasting yet complementary symphonies in fresh interpretations, providing eloquent testimony to his ability to summon up the expressiveness and spontaneity demanded by Mozart’s masterpieces.
