How placid Mozart conducted by Manacorda is

Antonello Manacorda’s record debut as new mean conductor of the “I Pomeriggi musicali di Milano" (Milan Musical Afternoons) Orchestra. 

A violinist of worth, already Mahler’s stooge, a long artistic complicity with Abbado at first, with Harding later. The musician from Torino yet finds, by freeing himself from such models, a certain personality.
