In the early 1970's, Marriner was among the first conductors to record Mozart's early symphonies in stereo, a fairly startling and groundbreaking enterprise for the time. Back then, most people had pretty much disregarded most of the composer's youthful writing in favor of the big later pieces. Marriner showed the world the worth of some of the earlier works. PentaTone Classics unearthed the original master tapes for a number of these Marriner recordings that Philips Records had originally done in the Quadraphonic format but never released that way. PentaTone remastered them in a series of four volumes. This last volume containing the Symphonies 6, 48, 50, 51, 52 & 55. Needless to say, Marriner and the Academy of Saint Martin in the Fields perform the works with their customary sprightly vigor and refined taste, and the PentaTone engineers remastered the Philips recordings in audio highly reminiscent of how many of us recall Philips discs sounding in the early 70s.
Neville Marriner and the Academy of St. Martin-in-the-Fields recorded Mozart's early symphonies in 1972-1973 for release in the quadraphonic format by Philips. Though that technology quickly faded, the multichannel recording process has at last come of age with the appearance of the super audio CD, and Marriner's vintage four-channel recordings sound terrific in this 2006 reissue. Of course, Mozart's youthful, lightweight symphonies may not be ideal pieces for demonstration purposes – for depth of textures and richer orchestration, the later symphonies would be preferable – but these works are still effective for their clear lines and transparent sections, and sound surprisingly vivid in the DSD remastering. Marriner and the Academy play modern instruments, though their inclusion of a harpsichord continuo, their immaculate execution in the strings, and their fresh woodwind colors come close to creating an authentic period sound. This disc is the fourth in a four-volume reissue of Marriner's early Mozart recordings, which covers a total of 19 symphonies. Thanks to PentaTone's polished remastering, there is no tape hiss, just clean and natural sound quality.
