Divertimenti - D, K.136, B Flat, K.137 And F, K.138 / Serenata Notturno In D, K.239

Released by Philips in 1964, this recording features the Zagrebački Solisti, or Zagreb Soloists, under the baton of the celebrated cellist and conductor Antonio Janigro. The ensemble, founded in 1953 within the framework of Radio Zagreb, earned international acclaim during the 1960s for their refined, disciplined approach to the Baroque and Classical repertoire. This specific compilation captures their interpretation of Mozart's early divertimenti and the celebrated Serenata notturna, works noted for their bright, communicative energy.

The album is a classic representative of the mid-century European recording tradition, characterized by the clean, precise production values associated with Philips' Golden Label series. Janigro’s direction emphasized transparency and melodic grace, qualities that were widely praised by critics of the era for revitalizing interest in Mozart's lighter orchestral pieces. The design reflects the understated, functional aesthetic of European classical releases from the mid-1960s, prioritizing the clarity of the musical program over elaborate cover artistry.
