The 5 DIVERTIMENTOS K. Anh. 229/439b, originally written by W. A. ​​Mozart for corno di bassetto (a sort of old “bass clarinet”), were adapted for string trio in this recording. Considered one of the most beautiful works by the Austrian composer, each piece has five movements, featuring allegros, adagios, menuettos and rondos, which show a remarkable diversification of the aesthetics of this very elegant period in the history of European music.

These versions, transcribed for string trio, here exquisitely performed by Claudio Cruz on violin, Gabriel Marin on viola and Alceu Reis on cello, highlighted the specific possibilities of the instruments, their plasticity, and dynamics, but also provide a rich and congruent performance a trio of strings.

The individual quality of the musicians and the conviviality of years of playing together, show the cohesion of the tuning, the precise articulation, and the immaculate dynamics interpretation. In this unique set of singularities, Mozart’s genius is praised by the musical maturity of the trio, which, in its innovative adaptation and performance, promotes a fundamental recording of this masterpiece.
