PLUS Wind arrangements from Operas ‘Figaro’ and ‘Cosi’
London Mozart
Wind Ensemble
Jane Glover
NY Philharmonic Winds
“another first-rate version of this gorgeous work..a deeply affectionate reading of the music, and it is beautifully played. Jane Glover is not afraid to take some really slow tempos: for the introduction to the first movement, for the heavenly adagio in which the three leading players are finely eloquent – and in the Romance, surely slower than Mozart would have countenanced, but I confess I love it. …The quick music moves well, and the variation movement is done in a pleasantly light manner (with no loss of sensuous warmth in the exquisite fifth variation). …The recording finely captures the sound of the ensemble” (Gramophone)
