I like those old recordings by the AAM. The early symphonies had a rather sharp sound to the period strings (not necessarily a bad thing) but the later ones less so (ie. 40/41). Not sure if this was because they were later recordings (early digital?) or a function of the orchestra size/venue/production.

Have a listen to AAM/Hogwood playing CPE Bach string symphonies. Very similar recording quality and some fine brisk playing of very good works.

Hi Lawrence

This boxed set was given to me by a dealer as a freebee, it is missing record 1 unfortunately, but the 2 AND 3 are in excellent condition. I pop one of them on when I feel like having a relaxing listen to some Mozart. TBH I get quite confused as to which symphony is which, Mozart wrote so many. I would agree that these recording have a better sound to them. I also think the orchestra must have been rather well mic'd up. The separation of parts of the orchestra I found is pretty good, whereas on some other classical recordings I can find it not so obvious.

Regards

Adrian

Yes I think close mic'ing was the order of the day with these l'Oiseau Lyre recordings which helped separation and also caught the timbre of the gut strings nicely. Unlike flour example many King's Consort recordings on Hyperion.

I don't know why but I find this a slightly disappointing recording, from two aspects in places there is some low bass noise as if the microphone is picking up resonance from the floor, this is mainly efficient in piano only parts. Also if sound a little lack lustre, in other words not very engaging.
