Symphonies 25 28 29 & 35
For an entire generation of Mozart lovers, Walter's interpretations were the ultimate in sophistication and elegance, and so they remain. They still sound totally natural and inevitable, with a breadth of phrasing and very human warmth that points up the vocal nature of Mozart's melodic inspiration. Although the mono sound has dated, these performances are like old friends, and you'll welcome them in your collection.--David Hurwitz
