Julien Chauvin - Mozart: Sinfonia Concertante, Symphony No. 39 & Cosi Fan Tutte Overture - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

The Simply Mozart adventure, dedicated to his last three symphonies, comes to an end with this third volume and the 39th symphony. The programme also includes the overture to Cosi fan tutte (Incha statement of the opera in miniatureInch, according to Julien Chauvin) and the Sinfonia concertante for violin and viola. Composed one year after Mozart's second trip to Paris, the Sinfonia concertante was directly inspired by the Parisian practice of having several soloists enter into dialogue with the orchestra; this was very much in vogue at the end of the 18th century. InchMozart left his mark on us and on our hearts with it's second movement, one of the most poignant that he was ever to write,Inch says Julien Chauvin; here his violin dialogues happily with the viola of Amihai Grosz, who has already made two recordings for Alpha Classics (ALPHA634 & 1013).
