Freiburger Barockorchester Forms a New Creative Partnership with Deutsche Grammophon.
The FBO’s debut recording for Deutsche Grammophon will focus on Mozart and his connections with Mannheim, one of eighteenth-century Europe’s greatest musical centres. It will paint a musical portrait by combining music by Mozart himself with works by composers he would have encountered as a young man during his visit to the court of the music-loving Elector Palatine in the late 1770s. Featuring world premiere recordings of Christian Danner’s Violin Concerto in F major – performed by the FBO’s joint Artistic Director, Gottfried von der Goltz – and works for orchestra or smaller ensemble by Carlo Giuseppe Toeschi, Christian Cannabich and Georg Joseph “Abbé” Vogler, it will also present the Symphony in C major K. 208/102, Mozart’s reworking of the overture to his serenata Il re pastore.
