Hi John, I honestly don't know. The sound is good, the (informative) booklet doesn't mention that the recordings have been remastered.

Josef Mysliveček - Violin Concertos - Sinfonia & Ouverture
Leila Schayegh, violin Collegium 1704, Václav Luks via Qobuz This is lovely music, and the composer that comes to mind the most when you hear it is of course Mozart, who was influenced by Mysliveček. We've heard this orchestra live a couple of years ago and they were excellent. Myslivecek: Violin Concertos and Sinfonia & Ouverture by Leila Schayegh Josef Mysliveček (1737-1781) also known as "Il Divino Boemo" (The Divine Bohemian) was one of the most celebrated opera composers in Italy in the 1770s. His instrumental works - symphonies, concertos, octets, quartets, and trios - were as popular as his vocal music. Certain features of his melodic style reflect his Bohemian origins, and Mysliveček's influence on contemporaries was significant. A close friend of the young Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and a musical influence on him, Mozart described his character as "full of fire, spirit and life". All nine of the Mysliveček violin concertos that survive in complete form were probably written in a short period during the late 1760s and early 1770s when the composer maintained close contacts with the city of Padua and the composer and violinist Giuseppe Tartini. As a representative of Italian traditions that extended back to the early eighteenth century, Mysliveček’s violin concertos are all cast in three movements of the pattern ‘fast-slow-fast’. “From this music one can hear that the author was also a superb opera composer: the quickly alternating themes are well defined in character, whether sounding serious or boisterous, pleading or alluring, questioning or majestic, friendly or imperious. Figuratively, we find ourselves on the opera stage.” (Leila Schayegh) © Accent/Note-1

Fantastic playing and very good sound. (The mics pick up a lot of finger noise and breathing, though.)

I have been playing Mozart in my practice.
Brautigam on fortepiano, it doesn't get much better than this. All 10 CDs.
