This is is an extraordinary performance! It really is a great marriage of HIP technique and modern orchestra (augmented with natural horns). Perfect tempi, minimal vibrato, divided violin desks, and a sense of forward momentun with the phrasing. Umberto Benedetti Michelangeli and the Kammerorchester Basel are a match made in heaven in Mozart!

The best interpretation of this Mozart Symphony n40 i heard in my life! TOP, every single musical note is chiseled! TOP

Michelangeli was able to play these small chamber forces almost like a single instrument. This is real ensemble playing. The natural horns added period authenticity and the recording was crisp and clear. How often have I heard the 40th before without really _hearing_ it? The whole work seemed to have more gravity and complexity than I'd ever appreciated before.

Mozart's spirit has been completely and accurately channelled through every single member of this magnificent orchestra. There's passion, and restraint. There's formality, and playfulness. Thanks for your superb musicianship. Mozart feels grateful, and more than pleased.

Es ist eine Freude, diesen Musikern zuzuhören. Die a-moll-Symphonie mal so eindrücklich und nicht von einem Riesenorchester interpretiert auf sich einwirken lassen zu können, gehört schon zu den elementaren Musikerlebnissen.

What a terrific interpretation of such a masterpiece and showcasing every single melodic with intensive counterpoints. Bravo.

I have loved the 2nd movement since I was a kid.

[llamadeusmozart]

My favorite live video version of this symphony on Youtube.

[zorceon]

very good the first violinist strikes me as being a virtuoso

[thenextmozart]

my favorite violist, what a virtuoso!

[marcosPRATA]

The textural sharpness allows a better understanding of the counterpoint, and instrumental participation. Dynamic contrasts should address the greatest strong-gentle distance, but the overall articulation is perfect. One of the best interpretations I heard (according to my listening).

La sinfonia delle sinfonie eseguita in maniera tale da cogliere tutte le sfumature ! Complimenti !
