Violin concertos

Description

A completed corpus at 19 years old! Mozart was not even 15 years old when he began composing violin concertos that would serve as a backdrop at Salzburg receptions... However, the young Konzertmeister would not cease to distill increasingly tangible evidence of his aspirations for independence: questioning forms, diverting genres, humor and frivolity are a program approached with equal delight by Isabelle Faust and the musicians of Il Giardino Armonico, who sign here their first collaboration. Isabelle Faust plays on the Stradivarius "La Belle au bois dormant" from 1704, lent by the L-Bank of Baden-Württemberg (Germany). "The sound she produces is passionate, nervous, electrifying, but it also possesses a warmth, a disarming softness that reveals the secret lyrical springs of the music..." The New York Times
