Mozart: 3 Violin Concertos

These 3 innovative concertos - composed in the last four months of 1775 to entertain Mozart’s noble employer and to mollify his father Leopold - show Wolfgang the wunderkind blossoming into a fully-fledged compositional genius. Andrew Manze plays his own cadenzas and leads The English Concert. “His sense of fantasy permeated every flexible phrase.” (The Evening Standard, concert review)
