Mozart last year led all composers in the number of new listings in the Schwann record catalogue, and record companies are assiduously exploring the nooks and crannies of the composer's output in search of further repertory-the oratorio La Betulia Liberata, for example, or the opera Mitridate, Re di Ponto, both written when Mozart was an adolescent.
