Symphony No. 31 in D major 'Paris'

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

Daniel Barenboim / English Chamber Orchestra

1968

Top choice. Barenboim brings 'impeccable musicianship and taste and gentleness and warmth and a fullness' that benefits the work. Very well recorded.

Sir Thomas Beecham / London Philharmonic Orchestra

1930s Iconic 1930s mono recordings.

From his iconic 1930s set. A consummate Mozartian, Beecham brings 'wonderful elegance, beautifully molded slow movements, this wonderful rhythmic bounce, and tasteful feeling of power'.
