Info for Mozart Symphonies

This is an excerpt from the Korean Chamber Orchestra's first live performance of all 46 of Mozart's symphonies in Korea, celebrating its 60th anniversary.

"When you record Mozart's music, you realize again how difficult it is to stay true to the basics. Perhaps that's why there are fewer than five complete recordings of Mozart's symphonies in the world, and I salute the Korean Chamber Orchestra for making another history-making achievement." (Tone Meister Choi Jin Choi, Sempre la Musica)
