Your symphony want list?

[Florestan]

I want a complete Mozart cycle which is not Bohm, Marriner, Jeffrey Tate, Hogwood or Pinnock. Any suggestions?

Adám Fischer is the only other option I know of offhand (although I assume at very least Naxos has its own, probably multi-conductor, integral).

Thanks. There is also this:



Norichika Iimori, Yamagata Symphony Orchestra

Never heard about him nor about them.

There is also Levine/Vienna/DG, Hans Graf/Mozarteum (Capriccio/Delta, if findable at all, should be cheap), both from the late 1980s, and a mixed Harnoncourt (1-27 Concentus Musicus on RCA/Sony, 25,28-41 with Concertgebouw on Teldec/warner). Was Mackerras/Telarc complete? Not sure. The oldest is Leinsdorf (orig. Westminster, partially mono, on CD by DG)

Never heard of the Japanese one.

Iimori has done some decent Haydn, as far as I can recall. Sort of Mackerras-ish.

Ooops, I forgot that I also have Mackerras. Thanks for the other tips.

It's pretty interesting how the CD boom motivated labels to get all the Mozart symphonies out on CD in time for the 1991 anniversary. Philips mostly relied on its older (Marriner, Krips) recordings for the complete Mozart edition and I think the Hogwood was already begun in the late 1970s, maybe independently of the anniversary (as it had the then USP of old instruments). But Tate/EMI, Graf/Capriccio, Levine/DG, Pinnock/Archiv and Mackerras/Telarc were all done at that time.

In the LP age before there was, I believe, only Leinsdorf (not well distributed and probably mostly oop in the 70s/80s), Böhm (probably the best known) and Marriner/Krips (Marriner completed his own in the 80s)

It's a pity that Capriccio could not get Sandor Vegh to record most of the symphonies. He did a lot of serenades and divertimenti. Graf is good in the symphonies I have heard but far from the special way Vegh has in his best recordings.

For the life of me I can't understand why he didn't record my favorite of them all, the Posthorn.   

Otherwise that incomplete yet bulky cycle is fabulous.

As amw suggests, Adam Fischer's cycle with the Danish National Chamber Orchestra is superb. Relatively HIP in style (with prominent, crisp timpani) but on modern instruments and not devoid of vibrato.

The google machine tells me he recorded the Posthorn for Philips.



How did this get to Mozart serenades?

Symphony series I'd like to see completed: Guarnieri, Santoro (I see that Naxos has recorded 2 more), and Diamond.  Oh, and more Rosenberg than just 3 & 6.

I have the Capriccio set:



and it doesn't have it.

Many thanks for the tip, though.

Thanks. Now I'll have to learn Japanese.

Those recordings are nice, but a big irritation is that they did not include Symphony No 32 (KV318), presumably because they did not consider it a symphony (it is a single movement work in 3 distinct sections). It is one of my favorite works from that part of Mozart's career.
