Symphonies 25 in G Minor [The Little G Minor], 36 in C [The Linz] and 40 in G Minor!
All live broadcasts, and golly one could wish for the same forces to make fully finished studio recordings on this evidence.
I was given the chance to listen to these today.
For me Adam Fischer is the conductor of the great Nimbus series of Haydn Symphonies, but here he shows just how he could stir great Danish orchestral musicians to the highest degree of Mozartian performance. Not smooth - as Karajan - but intense like Klemperer, though not as recklessly fast as as the great German!
But still incredibly driven and full of delightful clarified musical balances.
Maybe Bohm is more civil, but you should not cross your arms listening to Mozart Symphonies - you should be compelled by the music.
I have come across many Danish performances of the classics that seem to exibit an open-ness to risk taking even in the “classical repertoire” that makes me think that Copenhagen offers quite as much quality as Berlin, Vienna or London ...
