Mozart. Eine Kleine Nachtmusik. K.525
Sir Charles Mackerras conducting the Prague Chamber Orchestra.
A Supraphone cd I came across in a BHF shop today.
This is a work that almost qualifies as a 'guilty pleasure'. I know there are come who denigrate it but I've always loved it. Years ago, I used to attend a string quartet course that was tutored by some BIG names in the string world. The first violin always took late Beethoven, the Viola player Czech music such as Dvorak or Novak whilst the 'cellist indulged his love of Schubert. What did PG take? K.525. There were always groans but I stood my ground and Mozart's lovely serenade was to be heard resounding around the grounds of wherever the course was being held!

Earlier:
DSCH - Symphony #15
Moscow Philharmonic Orchestra, Kirill Kondrashin. Label: Alto
Working my way through the various recordings of the 15th. This KK is a very fiery performance from 1974, not too many years after the work's completion and still well within Brezhnev's 'Era of Stagnation'. It is similar to Barshai's approach, but the second movement is not quite as quick. The sound quality is very good indeed - vivid, forward and detailed. I don't know about the sound quality of the other releases on other labels, but this one is very good to my ears.
Now:
DSCH - Symphony #7
Royal Liverpool Philharmonic, Vasily Petrenko. Naxos
I struggle with this symphony.

So far today I'm listening to the Mosaïques' late Beethoven quartets, which I chose more or less at random (if there is such a thing) but I have the feeling I'll be spending some considerable time with these recordings in the next days.
