Trio Roseau - Mozart: Cosi Fan Tutte KV 588; Divertimenti KV 439b (III, IV) (SACD)

Following on from their unique recording for MDG, the sequel on Vol. 2 again features Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's complete basset horn trios in arrangements by Ulf-Guido Sch�fer for trio d'anches. From the original twenty-five individual movements, Sch�fer has put together two more highly entertaining divertimentos. Deepl moving excerpts from Cos� fan tutte form a dramatic contrast to the serenade tone of the trios.The trio d'anches consisting of an oboe, a clarinet, and a bassoon is actually a creation of the twentieth century. French composers in particular felt inspired by the homogeneous sound of this ensemble not unlike the sound of the human singing voice. Whether Mozart would have shared their predilection remains speculation � but not the fact that his music creates such an authentic impression in Sch�fer's arrangements that it is as if it had been composed in eighteenth-century Vienna.
