On Mozart Horn Concertos, Ben Goldscheider joins the Münchener Kammerorchester in performances of all four concertos by Mozart, combining clarity, energy, and a strong sense of musical direction.

Written for Mozart’s friend, the horn player Joseph Leutgeb, these works remain central to the horn repertoire, balancing virtuosity, lyricism, with a uniquely conversational relationship between soloist and orchestra. For Goldscheider, these concertos have been a constant presence throughout his musical development, accompanying him from his early years as a horn player to major international solo appearances. This long familiarity informs an interpretation shaped by both experience and curiosity.

Presented in reverse order, from the Fourth Concerto to the First, the album offers a fresh perspective on their overall arc. Ben Goldscheider makes his PENTATONE debut with this release, while the Münchener Kammerorchester appeared on the acclaimed recording of Four Seasons with Arabella Steinbacher in 2020.
