1776, and Salzburg’s elite gathered
for the society wedding of the
decade. For the marriage of
Siegmund Haffner’s daughter,
Mozart delivered the ultimate
gift: a mighty Serenade built on a
symphonic scale, with a concerto’s
virtuosity but the palatable qualities
of a fine Champagne. Hear it here
alongside gorgeous and graceful
miniatures from the same pen and
Rudolph Barshai’s dexterous
arrangement of Shostakovich’s
moving Tenth Quartet.
