Eine kleine Nachtmusik, K. 525 / Symphony in C major (Linz), K. 425

Album by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart & London Symphony Orchestra & Antal Doráti

This release is a recording of two orchestral works by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, composed in 1787 and 1783 respectively. Both pieces exemplify Classical-period orchestral writing, featuring clear melodic lines, balanced formal structures and transparent textures, and they occupy distinctive places in Mozart's output as examples of his serenade-style ensemble writing and his mature symphonic craft.
First released: August 1959
