Description:

[Panorama Series: Semi-New Pressings / Encore Pressings] "Panorama" is a series for beginners of classical music that compiles masterpieces of classical music by composer in two-disc sets using Deutsche Grammophon and Decca sound sources. With the exception of a few operas and other works, there are no fade-outs or movement excerpts, and the series is based on the recording of all the movements of a single work. The performances are all masterpieces that can be recommended with confidence. This is an encore pressing of 40 selected titles. Mozart's second collection includes eight masterpieces: two serenades and three concertos, performed by the Orpheus Chamber Orchestra, famous as an orchestra without a conductor, and featuring lush, fresh performances. In "The Hunting," the Emerson String Quartet gives a fresh and vital performance. The Piano Sonata and Rondo played by Brendel are on the Philips master recording.
