BEST OF MOZART    
Beyond the mystique of Mozart—his astonishing precocity and early demise—lies the music itself, revealed here in its kaleidoscopic moods. A heavenly serenity infuses the themes of the Clarinet Concerto and his last symphony, “Jupiter,” while his impetuous First Symphony, composed at the age of 8, bursts with youthful energy.

BEST OF WATER    
Elusive and enticing, water captures the imagination. Handel’s festive Water Music paints a scene of courtly elegance, while Smetana’s “The Moldau” reminds us of the powerful nostalgia that a river can evoke. Strauss’s lilting Blue Danube Waltz is famous for its appearance in the movie 2001; Mendelssohn’s “Fingal’s Cave” vividly depicts the rugged coast of Scotland.
