Doktor Lichtenthals Mozart

The second volume of the series by the title "Doktor Lichtenthals MOZART" by Pandolfis Consort playing on period instruments presents symphonies by W. A. Mozart in chamber music arrangements. Peter Lichtenthal, born Wolfgang Mayer in 1779 in Bratislava, was not only a physician, but also a composer and author, including of two Mozart biographies, to which high authenticity can be attributed due to his acquaintance with Constanze Mozart and his two sons Carl and Franz. As a great admirer of the genius Mozart, he created numerous transcriptions of Mozart's works to make them performable in a small private setting. In this case, the symphonies No. 40 in G minor, K. 550, and "Jupiter" No. 41 in C major, K. 551, are set for string quintet.
