Trevor Pinnock's set of Mozart symphonies, recorded between 1992 and early 1995, was greeted warmly upon its release in three separate volumes (the last volume typically never made it to U.S. shores as a domestic release) and Universal has seen fit to re-issue it in an 11-CD box as part of its Collectors Edition series. While the general public honed its "historically informed" ear on the pioneering compilation set by Christopher Hogwood and the Academy of Ancient Music in the mid-1980s, Pinnock's later account, the second such to use period instruments, showed just how much more refined and skillful period-instrument playing was to become. "Authentic" colors abound--bright, aggressive, vibratoless strings and pungent winds combine to provide the now-customary sparkling textures redolent in period performances--but with a suaver, more graceful, and better-tuned overall presentation than its predecessor.
In general, Pinnock opts for a degree of moderation and conviviality in the slow movements that brings out their lyricism, a contrast with Hogwood's starker stance. Pinnock conjures up the dark, heavier timbres necessary for the opening of the Prague and in the Andante section of the E-flat symphony (K. 543), among other examples. This set has been one of the stalwarts of the period-practice approach since it first appeared, and it sounds as great as ever. And in spite of more recent competition, it continues to be highly and widely recommended. If you like your Mozart with plenty of rhythmic vivacity and without a smidgen of harshness that has befallen so many period-instrument recordings, then look no further than this now attractively priced gem.
