Leopold Mozart: Orchestral Works

Leopold Mozart has only survived throughout history in fragments. The large supply of secular instrumental music on which he prided himself in 1757, has been irrevocably lost. Leopold's son, Wolfgang dismantled and auctioned off his things as to continue caring for his own family at the time. In the recording presented here, a listener can gain an overall impression of the composer's oeuvre. Reinhard Goebel leads the Bayerische Kammerphilharmonie in discovering these forgotten masterpieces.
