In the third volume of their complete Mozart series, Maxim Emelyanychev and Il Pomo d’Oro present the Haffner and Linz symphonies (1782–1783), works that reveal Mozart’s operatic flair and dramatic sensibility. Emelyanychev, known for his vibrant and refined interpretations, brings these symphonies to life with energy and theatrical depth. The ensemble delivers performances marked by precision, authenticity, and expressive intensity. Violinist Aylen Pritchin, a frequent collaborator, joins the program with a dynamic rendition of Mozart’s Violin Concerto No. 3, completing an album that embodies bold artistry and the spirit of innovation characteristic of Mozart’s Vienna years.
