Flute- Quartet In D Adagio And Rondo, Köch. 617 (Glasharmonica-Quintet) • Quartet In D Major • Quintet In E Major

Released in 1973 by the Czechoslovak state label Supraphon, this recording features the Ars Rediviva Ensemble performing works by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and Johann Christian Bach. The album is centered around Mozart's Adagio and Rondo for glass harmonica, flute, oboe, viola, and cello, a piece originally composed in 1791 for the blind glass harmonica virtuoso Marianne Kirchgässner. The inclusion of this specific repertoire reflects the ensemble's dedication to chamber music of the 18th century, a period for which they were highly regarded in Central European classical circles.

The Ars Rediviva Ensemble, led by flautist Milan Munclinger, was renowned for its historical research and commitment to authentic interpretation of Baroque and Classical music. By pairing Mozart’s ethereal glass harmonica quintet with quartets by J.C. Bach, the album serves as a scholarly yet accessible exploration of the evolving textures of the late 18th-century chamber sound. The Supraphon pressing is noted by collectors for its clean production and the ensemble's characteristic precision, representing the label's long-standing effort to document the rich musical heritage of the Eastern Bloc to an international audience.
