Mozart’s Eine kleine Nachtmusik is one of the wittiest, happiest and most elegantly crafted of the composer’s works. Rediscover this sunny work with Maxim Emelyanychev, who surrounds it with rarities created around the same time.

SCO clarinettists Maximiliano Martín and William Stafford shine in Franz Krommer’s Double Concerto, while Haydn transports us to a Caribbean desert island with his dramatic opera overture. Mozart’s friend Paul Wranitzky’s Symphony in D provides a suitably flamboyant finale.
