Posthorn-Serenade / Symphonie no. 31 »Pariser«

Album by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart & Wiener Philharmoniker & James Levine

Posthorn-Serenade / Symphonie no. 31 "Pariser" is an album of orchestral works by W. A. Mozart, composed in 1778–1779. The collection pairs the lighter, ceremonial serenade—noted for its distinctive wind writing including a post horn—with the large-scale Paris symphony, which features expanded orchestration, bright orchestral textures and an ambitious formal design that reflects Mozart's engagement with Parisian concert culture at this stage of his career.
