Wouldn't the definition of Romanticism be that the "self" expresses itself through the musical medium? Listening to the slow movements of Mozart's symphonies, concertos, and sonatas, the idea that he could be classified among the Romantic composers, or at least tending towards Romanticism, comes to mind. What magnificent moments we have spent listening to them...

A child once said to his pianist father, who was simultaneously practicing works by Mozart and Beethoven, "Beethoven is joyful, Mozart is sad!" Doesn’t truth come from the mouths of babes?

Let’s take the example of Symphony No. 40 in G minor and consider musicologist Éric Blum's commentary: "The personal feeling that distinguishes Romanticism from the severe and objective perfection of Classicism has never been felt more strongly in any musical work than in this symphony... One could say that in the G minor symphony, Romanticism and Classicism meet..."

What we love about Ferenc Fricsay's tempo choices is that he allows us to savor the considerations mentioned above more than other conductors. The apparent slowness of his direction wonderfully distills the Mozartian sentiment, and the beauty of the orchestra's timbres enhances their expressive impact. Everything is marvelous, and there’s no need to mention that the remastering is on par with the performance. Justice is finally done to this essential reference.

Enjoy your listening
