EUCO bring their irrepressible energy to these relatively early masterworks by W A Mozart. The much-loved Symphony no 29 in A major is sometimes regarded as Mozart’s first great symphony. The Kassation K.63 was written while Mozart was only 13, and yet displays all the inventiveness and composure of his later works. The Divertimento K.251 is a surprisingly extensive, complex and musically satisfying work that uses the unusual instrumental combination of strings, two horns and only one oboe.
