Music Week 2024

This concert recording from Mozart Week 2024 focuses on the horn quintets of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and Anton Reicha, two major works representing a genre that has rarely been explored. After the Prague-born composer, music theorist and pedagogue Anton Reicha briefly tried to establish himself in Paris in 1799, he finally settled in the French metropolis in 1808. The Horn Quintet in E major, Op. 106 is one of his last compositions. It’s paired here with Mozart’s Rondo K.514 and the Horn Quintet K.407. This recording is of the Baborák Ensemble’s performance at this year’s Mozart Week in Salzburg.
