Mozart: Violin Concerto No. 5 KV 219/...Wolfgang Amadeus MozartAlbumGenre: ClassicalDescription: Volume 11 of the 'Next Generation Mozart Soloists' series presents Violin Concerto No. 5 in A Major along with Piano Concertos KV 40 and KV 449. The Piano Concerto No. 3 is a very early work derived from works by other composers whereas No. 14 was written in 1784 by a fully mature Mozart who was moving away from functional music towards expressing his ideas in a more dramatic structure. What links the two says Swiss-Canadian pianist Teo Gheorghiu is that they are both concertos mainly joyful and optimistic in expression. French violinist David Castro-Balbi says of Mozart’s violin concertos No. 5 has the strongest operatic character. These two soloists are accompanied by the Mozarteumorchester Salzburg under the baton of Howard Griffiths.
