Full of the memorable and deeply sentimental moments that make classical music timeless, this collection from the LPO is riveting. The “Air” from Bach’s ethereal third orchestral suite receives a light and breezy interpretation, while the pulse of Mozart’s familiar, magnetic “Eine Kleine Nachtmusik” makes it difficult to stay seated. The album rounds out with high-flying moments of electricity (Wagner’s “Ride of the Valkyries”) and pensive, impressionistic vibes (Debussy’s “Clair de Lune”), as well as one of music’s most unabashedly romantic works: the “Adagietto” from Mahler’s Fifth.
