Rondo for Violin and Orchestra in C K190

 

Julia Fischer, Gordan Nikolic, Hans Meyer

Netherlands Chamber Orchestra / Yakov Kreizberg

 

The 3rd and final volume in Pentatone’s series of Mozart’s complete work for violin and orchestra.

The critically acclaimed violinist Julia Fischer is joined by Gordon Nikolic. Yakov Kreizberg conducts the Netherlands Chamber Orchestra.

 

“So often in this work the violininst outguns the viola player in personality and technique. But not here. Gordan Nikolic’s rich, throaty viola beautifully complements Julia Fischer’s silvery sweetness. Mozart would surely have relished their vital, gracefully finished phrasing and the way they respond creatively to each other.” Gramophone, November 2007 – Gramophone recommendation.

 

“The qualities which made Fischer’s earlier CDs of Mozart’s concertos so appetising are here in spades, starting with Kreizberg’s handling of the orchestra. Listen to the start of the great Sinfonia Concertante, here replete with an energy which doesn’t preclude sensitivity of phrasing or detail of instrumental colour.” BBC Music Magazine, January 2008
