A new box set of Hans Rosbaud’s SWR recordings that features works by Mozart, and follows on from a previous release of Rosbaud's performances of Haydn, Wagner, Weber / Mendelssohn, Bruckner and Tchaikovsky. Yet again, Hans Rosbaud proves himself one of the great conductors of the 20th century. Features famous soloists such as Friedrich Gulda, Robert Casadesus, Monique Haas and Dennis Brain. Most of the recordings have never been previously released.
During his time in Baden-Baden, Hans Rosbaud conducted a representative selection of Mozart's solo concertos (principally those for piano), symphonies, serenades and, fortunately for us, the composer's rarely recorded concert arias. He was able to present Mozart’s immediately charming melodies with a judicious amount of shaping, particularly pleasing in Kleine Nachtmusik. As in his other recordings of classicalromantic repertoire, Rosbaud excels at highlighting a work's structural characteristics. Equally notable is his careful handling of the wind parts: he draws attention to Mozart’s distinctive orchestral scoring and presents interaction between the orchestral families as a dialogue on stage. This is especially true for the solo concertos in which the role of the orchestra is never reduced to one of mere accompaniment. Rosbaud also highlights this characteristic in the symphonies and serenades, no doubt hoping that future interpretations would take their lead from this practice.
