The first series of concerts by the New York Philomusica Chamber Ensemble was held in New York City’s Town Hall in September, 1971. On the second program of the series, the great Divertimento No. 17 in D and its companion March were heard, soon thereafter to be recorded. Thus began a 3-year project to record all of the Breitkopf & Härtel edition ofthe “Complete Divertimentos of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.” No organization had sought to mount such an ambitious effort previously, nor has any since. The first completed recordings were issued in 1975 as “Vox Boxes,” in LP format. In 1991 they were issued again, on CD. This edition is 2002. In each edition, the liner notes by Robert Levin have been updated to the latest standards ofscholarship.The great string divertimentos in this survey call forth from the violinists the most demanding range of musicality and instrumental skill. Peter Davis, reviewing the 1975 LPs for The New York Times noted “...a special pleasure in hearing the poised, larklike flights of the two principal violinists, Isidore Cohen and Felix Galimir.” That independent view is an apt expression of the gift so crucial to these performances' musical success.

Target Markets:Major metro markets, culturally-oriented cities and college towns.

The Cincinnati Post says...

“They’re delightful pieces…The performances are crisp and clean, spirited but relaxed… the New York Philomusica does not try to burden it with over-interpretation.”
