Reinhard Goebel

Description:

Reinhard Goebel launches “New Mozart”, a series offering fresh perspectives on the composer.The first volume brings the Violin Concerto No. 6 and an orchestral arrangement of the Gran Partita.Seeking out unknown works and presenting them anew within their historical context: this is the guiding principle of “New Mozart”, the latest project from Reinhard Goebel, the conductor described as a tireless explorer, following on from his acclaimed “Beethoven’s World” series. Partnered by the Mozarteumorchester Salzburg, the series sets out to unearth little-known Mozart and place it alongside music from his orbit, and this is its opening instalment.The first volume centres on the Bavarian composer Franz Gleissner (1761-1818), who arranged Mozart’s celebrated wind serenade, the Gran Partita K. 361, for orchestra and published it in 1800 as the Sinfonia concertante in B flat major, Op. 91.
