About

This spectacular 4 CD set highlights Sir Colin Davis, who was indisputably one of the greatest Mozart conductors of the last century, both in the opera house and in the recording studio.

In Munich in the early 1990s, near the end of his tenure as chief conductor of the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra, he recorded several of the popular serenades and wind concertos.

“Davis is completely at home in this music and brings to it grandeur and delicacy in good measure and judicious balance” – Gramophone

And in 1998, as the Dresden Staatskapelle’s first-ever conductor laureate, he recorded twelve opera overtures.

“Beautifully turned string playing, wonderful contributions from the wind section, and transparent textures: it all represents splendid ‘big band’ Mozart in the modern tradition” – Classics Today

These superb RCA recordings are now reissued in a 4-CD box set.

This is the 22nd series of box sets within the Sony Classical Masters Series (197 sets have been released so far). The volumes distinctively feature excellent repertoire and restore many titles back to the active catalogue. They are presented in a striking design, offered at a highly competitive price.
