Дирижировал Тон Купман, абсолютно радикально, как в фильмах Чаплина, с нечеловеческим драйвом артикулируя симфонии и выхватывая звуки руками из воздуха. Купман никогда не исполняет ничего, написанного после смерти Моцарта; он один из авторитетов аутентического движения. Аuthentic performance movement is an effort on the part of musicians and scholars to perform works of classical music in ways similar to how they were performed when they were originally written.

Програмка уточняет: W.H.Auden wrote of Mozart serenades: "while bottles were uncorked, / Milord chewed noisily, Milady talked." By the time of Auden's verse, these extraordinary pieces, the most extravagant background music ever composed, had found a more appropriate home in the concert hall. But they were written to be played as an entertainment at prominent functions and high-society events, often held outside—not, in other words, for serious listening. Most of them, in fact, were performed just once and then forgotten.
