Some of Mozart’s lesser known symphonies are integrated for this Mozart/Maag release, with mono recordings of Nos. 28, 29, 34 (among the earliest of Maag’s Decca recordings) coupled with stereo recordings of the Symphony No. 32 and the delectable Serenata Notturna. Everywhere, style, finesse and charm are evident in these performances.
Recorded at Victoria Hall, Geneva, Switzerland, March 1951 (Nos. 28, 34), October 1950 (No. 29); Kingsway Hall, London, UK, January 1959 (No. 32); Walthamstow Assembly Hall, December 1959 (Serenata Notturna).
