Mozart / Handel & Haydn Society / Mandel - Violin Concertos 1 [CD]

Mozart's Violin Concertos need little introduction from No. 3 in G major featuring the 19-year-old Mozart at his elegant, witty and beguilingly changeable best, to the Sinfonia Concertante - the string concerto masterpiece - with it's masterly mixture of noble strength and tender lyricism, these are some of Mozart's most well-known and best-loved works. Handel and Haydn Society with their inspirational Concertmaster, Aisslinn Nosky, bring Mozart's musical magic to life in these live recordings from Boston's glorious Symphony Hall. "The music crackled with a feeling of playful rivalry and delight. With the two vigorous virtuosi leading the performance... The soloists kinetically engaged with their fellow players, sometimes looking behind as if to rally their allies... musical magic in the making." (THE BOSTON GLOBE)
