[SACD-R][OF] Concerto Koln - The Mozart Album - 2003 (Orchestral)

Artist Biography by James Reel (All Musiс)
One of the groups arising during the period-instrument boom of the 1980s was Cologne Concerto, also known by its German name, Concerto Köln. Founded in 1985 by recent graduates of various European conservatories, it almost immediately began touring its Baroque and Classical repertory around Europe, appearing frequently at major music festivals. In 1992, in collaboration with Deutschland Radio, the group founded the Cologne Festival of Early Music; each year, the festival focuses on the instrumental works and operas of a specific composer, including such neglected figures as Kraus, Vanhal, and Locatelli. Its recordings have ranged even more widely, from the likes of Dittersdorf and Durante through Bach, Vivaldi, and Mozart, and on even to Mendelssohn.
Italian Opera Arias
A self-governing organization, the ensemble receives no government subsidies. Its democratic notions extend to its lack of a permanent conductor; after first violinist Werner Ehrhardt, Martin Sandhoff was appointed artistic director in 2005. Members often go their separate ways as chamber musicians, but the group also brings in diverse collaborators, including a Turkish ensemble for a tour and recording fusing such eighteenth century pseudo-Turkish pieces as Mozart's "Overture to the Abduction" from the Seraglio with the authentic folk music that inspired it. The group has also partnered with soprano Cecilia Bartoli, Vivica Genaux, and Arsys de Bourgogne and released Airs D'Opéras Italiens (2007), Amoureuses (2008), and Johann Christian Bach: Mailälander Vesperpsalmen.

Concerto Köln plays the 29th and 35th Symphonies of W.A. Mozart, along with the Bassoon Concerto and shorter pieces, on period instruments.
Review from Phil at SA-CD.net
Yet another must have SACD…This is a great example how to put together a spectacular SACD – The performance, the engineering (realizing the super wide dynamic range of DSD they set the peak output level slight lower than your standard disc…this enables you to have more control of the output to your sound system…They suggest you “Turn up your volume, in order to enjoy the full impact of this system’s dynamic sound”…great idea…I hope they continue to incorporate this in the future…) The artwork and detailed booklet are first rate…
I think the major labels should learn from this example of greatness that really sets the bar for all future SACD releases… My hats off to everyone involved with this release. Capriccio is a label that I’ll be watching very closely in the future, I also think they (Concerto Koln & Capriccio) have done a stunning job with the “Italian Concertos” release as well…but that’s another review!!!
Bottom line here, get this in your collection…no disappointments here…
Turn up the Symphony #29 (K201) and you’ll know precisely what I mean…!
