Mozart: ‘Gran Partita’ Wind Serenade K361PLUS Wind arrangements from Operas ‘Figaro’ and ‘Cosi’London MozartWind EnsembleJane GloverNY Philharmonic Winds “another first-rate version of this gorgeous work..a deeply affectionate reading of the music, and it is beautifully played. Jane Glover is not afraid to take some really slow tempos: for the introduction to the first movement, for the heavenly adagio in which the three leading players are finely eloquent – and in the Romance, surely slower than Mozart would have countenanced, but I confess I love it. …The quick music moves well, and the variation movement is done in a pleasantly light manner (with no loss of sensuous warmth in the exquisite fifth variation). …The recording finely captures the sound of the ensemble” (Gramophone) Wind Serenade in Bb K.361 ‘Gran Partita’London Mozart Ensemble Winds / Jane Glover*[1] Largo – Allegro molto 9:01[2] Menuetto 8:46[3] Adagio 6:01[4] Menuetto: Allegretto 5:08[5] Romanze: Adagio – Allegrett
