About

For over four decades Pinnock’s name has been virtually synonymous with the early-music movement and, with a critically acclaimed Deutsche Grammophon discography of almost all the composer’s orchestral works, Mozart.

He inspires fantastically insightful performances of two favourites by two Classical masters performed here on modern instruments with the very best of the next generation of wind players: the Royal Academy of Music Soloists Ensemble.

The ‘Gran Partita’ is Mozart’s largest and arguably his most innovative instrumental work; it demonstrates the sensitivity of the colours of wind instruments in a score of unsurpassed variety.

The driving principles are sonority, colour, texture, concertante effects, the juxtaposition of contrasting styles, and the mutability of musical ideas.

Pinnock brings his wealth of experience to his first recording of the composer’s great wind masterpiece.

The nocturnes of Mozart’s mentor Haydn magnificently blend the timbres of strings and woodwind with unerring dramatic instinct.

The work has all the scintillating argumentativeness and wit that one might expect of mature Haydn, whilst the central Adagio is sublime.

Trevor Pinnock knows a thing or two about Mozart and imparts to his youthful charges from the Royal Academy of Music all his enthusiasm for the Salzburger’s greatest serenade. There’s no other way to attempt this music that with a sense of playfulness and, in the two slow movements, deep inwardness, and on the whole these soloists match Mozart’s expectations and provide a compelling performance

July 2016

Pinnock and his team give a highly accomplished and enjoyable performance...This is a delectable disc; especially recommended for listening on a warm summer’s evening with a glass of some suitably chilled liquid at your elbow.

6th May 2016

Chamber music for winds doesn’t get better than the mighty Gran Partita – 50 minutes of Mozart at his most sublimely tuneful and blithe. And from their glowing first chord to the extravagantly mellow colours of the variations to the deft fizz of the finale, this is seriously impressive playing from students of the Royal Academy of Music under Trevor Pinnock.
