Title: Great Mozart by a great Mozart conductor
Review: I bought this primarily to add Symphony No. 36 “Linz” to the family CD library. Böhm’s Linz Symphony is superb. The dynamic contrast (contrast in volume) between passages is particularly moving. He brings maximum lushness and intensity to the music, all within the limits of the classical style. Böhm’s approach to Symphonies Nos. 35 “Haffner” and 38 “Prague” is equally beautiful. There are those who take issue with Böhm’s tempos. They can be deliberate. The overall architecture of the music, and the magnificent playing by the Berlin Philharmonic, however, make for glorious listening. Böhm is considered one of the great Mozart interpreters of the last century. This recording shows why.
