Peter Maag's Mozart with the Orchestra Di Padova E Del Veneto is a winning combination of serious and fun. I hesitate to say these are my favorite Mozart symphonies, but I hesitate to say they aren't, either.

New page, next Beethoven symphony: no. 2. Osmo Vänskä and the Minnesota Orchestra are another "historically informed" performance on modern instruments. Not my favorite thing on the menu but their second symphony is really good.



DSD rip from SACD

No surprise the BIS recording is outstanding.

Dvorak's 4th Symphony is a relatively early work, and the shadow of Wagner is clearly present. It also has plenty of Bohemian charm, but it isn't quite as focused, or as tightly constructed as his later work. But it is certainly worth hearing.

Angela Hewitt is a relatively recent discovery for me, and the more I listen the more I like. It seems like it is impossible for her to make a record that is not beautiful, and Volume 2 of her Scarlatti Sonatas is very beautiful indeed.
