Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Ursula Schoch, Orchester Der Ludwigsburger Festspiele, Wolfgang Gönnenwein – Mozart Aus Dem Ludwigsburger Schloß VI

Mozart – Aus Dem Ludwigsburger Schloß VI

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
Performed by Ursula Schoch (violin), with the Orchester der Ludwigsburger Festspiele conducted by Wolfgang Gönnenwein

This volume in the Aus Dem Ludwigsburger Schloß series brings together three cornerstones of Mozart’s orchestral writing, performed in the elegant and historically resonant setting of Ludwigsburg Palace. The result is a recording that balances refinement, clarity, and the natural warmth of live orchestral performance.

The Violin Concerto No. 4 in D major KV 218, featuring Ursula Schoch, is full of charm and lyrical brilliance. Its opening Allegro sparkles with classical poise, while the Andante cantabile offers a more intimate, singing quality, leading into a graceful and spirited Rondeau finale.

Mozart’s ever-popular Eine kleine Nachtmusik KV 525 follows, a work that epitomises elegance and melodic ease. From its bright opening Allegro to the serenely flowing Romanze and energetic finale, it remains one of his most enduringly loved serenades.

The programme concludes with the Haffner Symphony KV 385, a work of ceremonial brilliance and drive. Its energetic outer movements frame a poised Andante and a lively Menuetto, showcasing Mozart’s mastery of symphonic form at its most direct and celebratory.

A finely balanced collection that highlights Mozart’s gift for melody, structure, and expressive clarity across concerto, serenade, and symphonic form.
