Immerse yourself in the timeless elegance of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's masterful compositions with this exquisite collection, set to release on January 10, 2025, under the prestigious Alpha Classics label. This album showcases Mozart's virtuosity and innovation through three of his most celebrated concertos: the Violin Concerto No. 5 in A Major, KV 219, and the Piano Concertos No. 3 in D Major, KV 40, and No. 14 in E-Flat Major, KV 449. Each concerto is a testament to Mozart's genius, featuring cadenzas that have been meticulously crafted by the composers themselves or, in the case of the violin concerto, by Ernst Hess and David Castro-Balbi.
Spanning a duration of one hour and one minute, this album is a comprehensive journey through Mozart's diverse musical styles and emotional depth. The Piano Concerto No. 3 in D Major opens with a majestic allegro, followed by a serene andante, and concludes with a lively presto. The Piano Concerto No. 14 in E-Flat Major offers a more introspective experience, with its allegro vivace, andantino, and a spirited allegro ma non troppo. The Violin Concerto No. 5 in A Major rounds off the collection with its allegro aperto, adagio, and a delightful rondeau.
This album is a must for both classical music enthusiasts and those new to the genre, offering a rich and rewarding listening experience. The performances are brought to life with the highest level of artistry and technical precision, capturing the essence of Mozart's compositions and transporting the audience to the heart of 18th-century musical brilliance.
