Eine kleine Nachtmusik / Posthorn-Serenade

Album by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart & Wiener Philharmoniker & Berliner Philharmoniker & Karl Böhm

This album is a recorded pairing of two serenades by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, composed in 1779 and 1787. Both pieces exemplify Classical-era serenade writing with light orchestral textures, prominent string writing and scored wind passages intended for outdoor or social performance, and they occupy a place in Mozart's output as examples of his skill at creating concise, ensemble-focused entertainment music.
First released: 16th March 1987
