莫札特: 最後三首交響曲集 馬修.埃佐格 指揮 熱情合奏團 Mathieu Herzog / Mozart Symphony 39-41

Naïve is particularly proud to release the first recording from the orchestra recently founded by conductor Mathieu Herzog: Ensemble Appassionato.

A favourite composer for the orchestra, who other than Mozart to bear witness to the recording debut from this ensemble? An ensemble born under the most auspi-cious circumstances, full of members from France's major string quartets.

The last three symphonies, a triptych as monumental as it is mysterious - we know almost nothing about the circumstances surrounding their composition - are prob-ably the works that best symbolise the projects thus far of Mathieu Herzog and the Ensemble Appassionato. Their fresh vision, modern and chamber-like, plus a multitude of eclectic repertoire. A vision galvanised by the desire to share music with everyone.

Listening to this recording nourished with as much passion and ambition as respect and humility, a more human and personi-fied Mozart appears before us, more lumi-nous than ever. Clear timbres, instrumen-tal cohesion, balance, well-rounded char-acters, full-bodied tempi ... Mathieu Her-zog demonstrates here a vision and an inherent know-how, placing him immedi-ately in the pantheon of great conductors.
