Folkwang Kammerorchester Essen
Johannes Klumpp, direction

With four superb albums already setting new artistic benchmarks, the Folkwang Kammerorchester Essen continues its exploration of the complete symphonic oeuvre of Mozart under the baton of celebrated Mozart specialist Johannes Klumpp. Now this fifth stage of the ensemble’s sonic journey brings us Symphonies Nos. 8, 22, 23, and — as a brilliant highlight — the grand Symphony No. 39 in E-flat major. International critics praise these recordings for their “exceptional technical mastery” and hail conductor and orchestra alike as “ideal Mozart interpreters.” This release is a testament to the radiant diversity and expressive power of Mozart’s symphonic writing.
