Mozart: Night Music

“The range covered here is immense: at one extreme, A Musical Joke, Mozart’s (to us) surprisingly heavy-handed satire on bad composing; at the other, the harmonically audacious adagio he wrote to preface an earlier two-piano fugue. ..The Adagio and Fugue, played with splendid bite under Andrew Manze, is the highlight.” --Sunday Times, 20th March 2011 ***

“I don’t know of any [performances] that can match these for freshness, exhilaration and sheer fun.” --BBC Music Magazine, September 2003

“It is quite an achievement to make a performance of Eine Kleine Nachtmusik gripping and revelatory, but in his first recording as director of the English Concert, Andrew Manze manages it.” --The Guardian
