"Posthorn" Serenade / Ballet Music from Idomeneo

Album by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart & Academy of Ancient Music & Christopher Hogwood

This release is an orchestral recording of works by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, originally composed between 1779 and 1781. The programme pairs light, multi‑movement serenade writing with dramatic operatic ballet music, highlighting Mozart's late‑18th‑century orchestral colour, prominent wind writing and elegant melodic clarity, and reflecting his shift from Salzburg court duties toward larger‑scale operatic composition.
First released: 1996
