The best recording I have heard is on L'Oiseau Lyre by Christopher
Hogwood, with Emma Kirkby. The score has been carefully researched
to include as much of what is thought to be Mozart's work and his
dictated directions as possible, without additional work by his
student. This is also available on CD, and the sound is wonderful -
it will give you shivers.
