The finest performance overall is K417, where the delightfully pointed playing of the orchestra is obviously infectious and solo playing and accompaniment form an engaging mirror image. In the finale of K412 (as on his Teldec record) Baumann produces a cadenza which includes horn chords, where several notes are produced simultaneously by resonating the instrument's harmonics—an uncanny effect. All in, all these positive performances offer much to enjoy, even if Baumann's earlier versions are a more fascinating achievement. The Philips sound is far preferrable to the earlier set.'
