A child prodigy on tour: Instead of bringing home holiday snapshots, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart returned with brilliant compositions, transforming the music and experiences he encountered on his travels into something uniquely his own. The Folkwang Chamber Orchestra Essen, under the vibrant direction of Johannes Klumpp, now brings Mozart’s symphonic travel memories to life for us. This thrilling new GENUIN release is the fifth instalment in a series of highly praised Mozart recordings. Critics consistently highlight the ensemble’s “outstanding technical skill” and praise “the conductor and orchestra as ideal interpreters of Mozart”!

Pizzicato
"Klumpp doesn’t over-accentuate, he articulates completely freely and naturally, which makes the music sound very spontaneous and lively, sometimes even mischievously funny. This Mozart is a delight and can only surprise us as listeners again and again." Review by Remy Franck, February 11, 2025
