The two albums reissued here exemplify the postwar revolution of Classical-era performance styles. Having begun to make records in 1938, the L'Oiseau-Lyre label worked in the vanguard of the period-performance movement, yet in 1951 the Bamberg Symphony Orchestra and it's long-time principal conductor Joseph Keilberth were engaged to record the Symphony KV 201 and the two sets of German Dances. They did so in Paris, the day after giving a concert in the Salle Pleyel to open a tour of France, Spain and Portugal. The sessions prompted a laconic diary reflection from Keilberth - 'How hard it is to stick to a really secure 3\/4 pulse' - but the authors of The Record Guide observed an unexpected lightness of touch about the results. L'Oiseau-Lyre's founder Louise Dyer continued, however, to engage artists who were scholars as much as musicians - none more eminent than Thurston Dart, who had produced a scholarly edition of Couperin's keyboard works on which much of the label's reputation was founded, and who directed his own ensembles such as the Philomusica of London with a sure and lively touch. This recording of Eine kleine Nachtmusik was the first - and still one of the only - to insert a replacement for the work's missing first minuet: in this case, Dart's own orchestration of a movement from a piano sonata, following a suggestion made by Alfred Einstein. It was also the first album of Mozart's orchestral music where the instrumentalists used 'period' bows, lighter and differently balanced, lending a natural shapeliness to the phrases.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTracks:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.1 1–5 Serenade in G major, KV 525 ‘Eine kleine Nachtmusik’ \u003cbr\u003e1.2 6–8 Serenata notturna in D major, KV 239 \u003cbr\u003e1.3 9–12 Symphony No. 29 in A major, KV 201 \u003cbr\u003e1.4 13 Six German Dances, KV 509 \u003cbr\u003e1.5 14 Six German Dances, KV 571\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Mozart \/ Dart, Thurston \/ Keilberth, Joseph","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32548356620359,"sku":"40721392","price":11.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2976\/0132\/files\/3847559-2589414.jpg?v=1711648206","url":"https:\/\/tower.com\/products\/mozart-dart-thurston-keilberth-joseph-mozart-serenades","provider":"Tower Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
