MOZART Sinfonia Concertante K 364 Duo in GK 423 (FIM, 2005)

MOZART Sinfonia Concertante K 364 Duo in GK 423 released in 2005 by First Impression Music (FIM). This 1963 Decca original recording is felt by CEO Winston Ma to be one of the very best productions in the entire history of recording. The Sinfonia a revelation – with a more serious mood than most of the composer’s lighter concertos and divertimenti. Mozart was going thru an especially difficult time in his life when he wrote the work. The two solo voices of the violin on one side of the soundstage and the viola on the other are captivating and ramp up the excitement of hearing the work. The great Russian violinist David Oistrakh gave the stronger violin part to his son Igor and took the secondary viola part for himself. The same is true of the “filler” work, the Duo.

“The care with which F.I.M. processed the original half-inch analog tapes, and the success of the perfectionistic xrcd mastering process, has resulted in an optical disc which perfectly identical to the Speakers Corner vinyl reissue played on high-quality SOTA turntable system”.
