Mozart, l'idéal Maçonnique

For this new opus from the Klarthe label, "Mozart, masonic ideal", proposes a journey into the heart of Mozart's private thoughts and inner being....

Through these chamber music works written for the clarinetist and fellow freemason Anton Stadler, all of which promote the basset horn (A historically masonic instrument, its set square form in concordance with masonic symbolism), Mozart enriches in admirable fashion the musical repertoire of the "columns harmony" found in the lodge. 

Thus, you are invited to discover throughout this recording, the music which resounded in the Freemasons Halls at the time of Mozart.
