Mozart: Horn Concertos


“Allegrini’s [sound] is a marvel – mellifluous, supple and ripe...Fluency and expressive grace are equal partners here. Abbado is ever-ready with a pertinent orchestral comment, an apt emphasis or a perfectly tailored phrase. Allegrini radiates the music’s joy, lyrical allure and poise...A hugely enjoyable disc.” --The Telegraph, 18th August 2011

“[Allegrini] is certainly a suave instrumentalist, while once again Abbado conducts with a wonderfully light touch. The orchestra and Allegrini all play modern instruments, but there's a period sensibility about the way the textures are balanced and the phrasing shaped.” --The Guardian, 18th August 2011 ****


“In tune with Claudio Abbado’s bracing “new-old” approach to Mozart — sparing use of string vibrato, astringent, wind-dominated textures — Allegrini’s slightly rougher-edged way with this famous music could hardly be less like Brain’s suave cantabile. Especially in the “hunting call” allegro finales, the two Italians bring a rude, rollicking alfresco quality” --Sunday Times, 21st August 2011 ****

“[Allegrini's] tone is full but flexible, sustained but lyrical, and he manages to impart a certain wistfulness to even the jolliest rondos...The orchestra...throughout, is a model of sophistication.” --The Observer, 21st August 2011
