MOZART - CHAMBER MUSIC FOR WINDS AND STRINGS - BOSTON SYM CHAMBER PLAYERS(HYBRID MULTICHANNEL SACD)

One of the world's most distinguished chamber ensembles performing four pieces of Mozart's chamber music. This is the first new recording by the Boston Symphony Chamber Players since 1998. Here we have remarkably-accomplished players performing famous works by one of the finest chamber composers – and all with audiophile treatment. The recording engineer is John Newton, the same engineer who has mastered the RCA Living Stereo SACD reissues.

This disc includes all three major chamber works by Mozart for strings and winds, which he composed specifically for instrumental virtuosos of this time. The disc also includes the seldom-heard Flute Quartet in A, K.298, featuring BSO principal flute Elizabeth Rowe – a work composed by Mozart for a family he frequently joined at their Vienna home for informal evenings of music, games and discussion.
