Writing on LinkedIn at the time of the recording, Michael commented “Just started my dream of a lifetime, recording the complete Mozart Symphonies. Finished 34, 35 and 36 with the absolutely incredible Philharmonia Orchestra. I have never felt such a rapport with these amazing musicians. I really want to thank them for going on this journey with me. I have the feeling this will be the most rewarding and musically satisfying project I have done. Again, thanks to BIS for allowing me this chance and thanks to the great Philharmonia for such music making and collaboration.”
