The Serenade in B flat major K. 361/370a by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, the so-called Gran Partita (this appellation is not the composer’s), is inarguably one of the greatest works in the wind instrument repertoire. It adheres to the Viennese tradition of Harmoniemusik-music for wind ensembles intended to add lustre to aristocratic events and banquets-yet transcends the genre by its instrumentation (two basset-horns, two horns and a double bass were added to the traditional octet), its monumental proportions (seven movements) and the richness of its musical inventiveness.

Press reviews
HR Audio
“The common breeding ground of these players guarantees perfection in their musical team work. They ably set down a convincing, zesty performance that can favourably compete with the original, giving -as such- an honest impression of completeness, albeit with a different sound scape. Of course, the composer and the arranger are for a great deal involved in its success, but the ultimate ‘shining’ rendition is theirs.
The recording made in the Academiezaal (Hall of the Academy) of Sint-Truiden (Saint-Trond) under Bert van der Wolf’s supervision by NorthStar Services, is of a quality level that lets nothing escape from the listener’s ear, save the audience noise, if there was any.”
