Mozart in the Jungle the album

We will be listening a selection from the soundtrack of the third season, album released on 9 December 2016, included in the project "Discs of 2017". Honestly I considered this album-soundtrack due to the recordings discovered, which I think it deserves your attention.

Names such as the violinist Josha Bell, the violoncellist Yo Yo Ma, the guitar duo Odair and Sergio Assad, The Philharmonic Orchestra from Gran Canaria, bandmaster Adrian Leaper, the Symphonic Orchestra from Cleveland, bandmaster George Szell, The Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra, bandmaster Colin Davis, the oboist François Leleux and Camerata Salzburg, they are the guarantee of an interesting hearing.

That's why I invite you to listen to the selection of the soundtrack of the series Mozart in the Jungle, at CD Review (11,30) on 15 May.
