"The famous recording of Mozart's Concerto in C K. 299 for flute and harp was made in 1962. Zöller is joined by the Spanish harp virtuoso Nicanor Zabaleta and the Berlin Philharmonic under Ernst Märzendorfer. In this disarmingly plangent and radiant performance, both soloists are ideally balanced, even though occasionally the supporting orchestra sounds a little too large. But the soloists capture the work's happy blend of early classical serenade form and Italianate operatic influence in a performance that over the years has lost none of its charm and poetic insight." --ClassicsToday.com
