1774: Mozart: Symphony No. 30 in D major, K. 202/186b, age 18
This is a noisy, in your face interpretation, and the conductor has written out timpani parts. It’s rough, a bit abrasive, not polite, and I really like this.
This is another early symphony written in Salzburg and completed May 5, 1774.

No timpani in Marriner’s, but this is a fine performance. Unfortunately it’s only the 1st movement, so you would have to hunt down the other movements. I know how to find them, so if someone asks I’ll do it.
