Review of previous releases:
Matthias Bamert directs shapely and balanced performances which possess an appealing palette of colours, a sense of rhetorical clarity and plenty of spontaneous charm.

Gramophone

Those attracted to 18th-century byways should find plenty to intrigue them, above all in No. 29 and the F minor, No. 43, whose first movement even hints at the mature Haydn and Mozart in its informal, sometimes witty use of counterpoint… no complaints about either the recording or the performances, which have all the LMP’s trademark polish and rhythmic life, but never seek to smooth the music’s sometimes awkward contours.

This program of Franz Xaver Richter (1709-89) is another in Matthias Bamert’s series of Mozart Contemporaries. These little-known late-18th Century musicians deserve more recognition. The London Mozart Players are a crack ensemble who readily follow Bamert’s outstanding leadership. The Chandos sound is among the best, and the notes are superb. Three of these five works are premiere recordings, which makes this all the more attractive.

American Record Guide

Bamert and the London Mozart players shape these symphonies with flexible refinement, underlining in turn Richter’s festive brashness, turbulent drama and sophisticated melancholy.

Goldberg

Bamert and his players address this repertoire with enthusiasm.
