Camerata Nordica/Tonnesen - Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart: Serenata Notturna, Three Divertimenti, Eine Kleine Nachtmusik

Up to and including Mozart, one important task for every composer not employed by the Church was to entertain. Much of Mozart�s best-loved music consists of occasional works intended for receptions and parties, balls and banquets, ceremonies and celebrations. These pieces are known to us under a number of different names: serenades, divertimenti, Nachtmusik and notturni are just some examples.
