Description:

Grumiaux, Molini, Milstein, Schneiderhan!Four Versions of Mozarts Turkish Concerto!This collection features four different recordings of Mozarts highly popular Turkish Violin Concerto in A major, K. 219. Both the violinists and conductors possess rich individuality; simply comparing the striking opening violin phrases in the first movement is fascinating, and even when listened to consecutively, each version offers its own unique enjoyment. Grumiauxs lustrous brilliance, Morinis devoted lyricism, Milsteins strong-willed and elegant beauty, and Schneiderhanswho also conductstruly Viennese softness: each is captivating in its own right. Surprisingly, among the conductors, Szells tempo is the slowest, and his deliberate, measured approach is particularly interesting. Whether you choose to listen to your favorite performance or
