MOZART: Symphonies 32, 35, 36 & 38 - BOHM, BERLIN PHILHARMONIC

Mozart Symphonies 32, 35 ‘Haffner’, 36 ‘Linz’, & 38 ‘Prague’

Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra
Karl Böhm

“These from his landmark complete cycle … all well received and I enjoyed hearing them again. Böhm is as excellent a Mozart conductor as Karajan, playing the quick movements in the most lively manner … Haffner is enjoyable, with a faster tempo in the finale, and plenty of momentum to the first movement. K318 has a vital and dramatic performance, The Linz minuet and finale both have sturdy, solid playing; a powerful performance … Böhm is really in his element with the Prague : the first movement is magnificent, superbly played, superbly architected” “(Overall)… he shows an exceptional ability to bring subtle emphasis to the felicities of the writing … (Gramophone)
