Following on from their unique recording for MDG, the sequel on Vol. 2 again features Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's complete basset horn trios in arrangements by Ulf-Guido Schäfer for trio d'anches. From the original twenty-five individual movements, Schäfer has put together two more highly entertaining divertimentos. Deeply moving excerpts from Così fan tutte form a dramatic contrast to the serenade tone of the trios. The trio danches consisting of an oboe, a clarinet, and a bassoon is actually a creation of the twentieth century. French composers in particular felt inspired by the homogeneous sound of this ensemble not unlike the sound of the human singing voice. Whether Mozart would have shared their predilection remains speculation - but not the fact that his music creates such an authentic impression in Schäfer's arrangements that it is as if it had been composed in eighteenth-century Vienna.
