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 Inchconcertos mainly joyful and optimistic in expressionInch. French violinist David Castro-Balbi says Inchof Mozart's violin concertos, No. 5 has the strongest operatic characterInch. These two soloists are accompanied by the Mozarteumorchester Salzburg under the baton of Howard Griffiths.
