Just got me an LP (yes, vinyl!) of Jack Brymer doing the Mozart concerto with St. Martin-in-the-Fields. Very nice!... inspiring, even. So smooth, and almost like the instrument, the /machine/, is... singing... I've only heard that a few times before.
Made me try and imagine what Mozart must have been thinking. The piece is like a showcase for the instrument, which must have been the height of technology in his time. I once saw a performance of a renaissance piece for violin, viola, viol and viola-da-gamba - two boxy, two curvy - and it was the same: the old boxy instruments chugged slong while the new curvy ones did all this wonderful stuff in front of them... look what I can do! Same with this Mozart...
I'm rambling, I know, but I had to share...
