Description: | The three concertos featured on this album were
composed together in 1782 / 83 â?? shortly after
Mozart had left his patron and position in Salzburg
to establish himself as a freelance composer and
performer in Vienna. The concertos were all
performed by the composer in a series of
subscription concerts that he gave in the city. All
share the same form â?? opening movement in
sonata form, slow movement in ternary form, and
a bright rondo finale. Despite these similarities,
though, each piece has its own distinct character
and identity; such was the extent of Mozartâ??s
genius for invention. Although formally scored for
strings with wind, horns, trumpets, and timpani,
Mozart also offered them to his publisher to be
performed â??a quatroâ?? â?? for strings only. These
would be the last concertos he wrote in which this
would be possible, and it is certainly likely that it
reflected a need to earn greater income as
opposed to being a purely artistic decision. As in
the rest of this series, Jean-Efflam Bavouzet is
joined by the Manchester Camerata and Gábor
Takács-Nagy, who open the album with a dazzling
performance of the Overture to Die Entführung
aus dem Serail, which dates from the same period. - The three concertos featured on this album were composed together in 1782 / 83 - shortly after Mozart had left his patron and position in Salzburg to establish himself as a freelance composer and performer in Vienna.
