Description:
This CD brings together some of Mozart's most captivating concertante and orchestral works in a vivid, fresh interpretation by violinist Johan Dalene, violist Timothy Ridout Griffiths and the Mozarteumorchester Salzburg. At its heart stands the "Sinfonia Concertante in E-flat major, KV 364", Mozart's masterful dialogue for violin, viola and orchestra, in which elegiac lyricism, dramatic intensity and radiant virtuosity are perfectly balanced. The interaction between the soloists and the orchestra highlights the piece's operatic character, from the noble opening movement through the profoundly introspective Andante to the spirited, dancing finale.
Complementing the Sinfonia Concertante are the two Rondo works, KV 382 and KV 386, which show Mozart at his most graceful and inventive. These concert rondos are full of melodic charm, playful contrasts and brilliant solo passages, offering a lighter yet highly sophisticated counterpoint to the emotional depth of KV 364. The Mozarteumorchester Salzburg, with its long tradition in performing Mozart in his native city, provides a refined, transparent sound that underlines both the elegance and the theatrical tension of the music.
