Just for the record (pun intended). I heard today Mozart CD 44 Period Instruments Serenade in E K375 played by the Music Party first version and Serenade in B K361 "Gran Partita", Members of the Orchestra of the 18th Century, Franz Bruggen (whew).  I must say that despite what I said negatively about period instruments, these guys are great and as usual. despite the age of the recordings, the sound is excellent.

Cool.

Interesting, I have a great disk by the Music Party of Haydn's Notturnos, it is the only disk I have ever seen by them. I do have that Gran Partita, and I quite agree, it is very fine. The music is the thing!
