W.A. MOZART — Concertos KV 216, KV 219 · Adagio KV 261 · Rondeau KV 269 | Salvatore Accardo, Prague Chamber Orchestra

Salvatore Accardo performs two of Mozart’s finest violin concertos, the Concerto No. 3 in G major, KV 216, and the Concerto No. 5 in A major, KV 219, together with the Adagio KV 261 and the Rondeau KV 269. As both soloist and conductor of the Prague Chamber Orchestra, Accardo shapes an expressive dialogue between violin and orchestra, moving from brilliant virtuosity to the graceful lyricism of Mozart’s slow movements.

The two concertos, written in 1775, reveal the extraordinary variety of Mozart’s writing for the violin. The programme concludes with two independent concert pieces, the Adagio in E major and the Rondeau in B-flat major.
