Description:

Gil Shaham's first Mozart: Violin Concerto recording, now available in a complete set! The virtuoso Gil Shaham plays Mozart's violin concertos, all five of which were written while he was still a teenager, but are known for their high degree of perfection. This is Shaham's first recording of Mozart's complete violin concertos, and he sings Mozart's flowing melodies to his heart's content, interspersing them with improvisatory ornamentation. Shaham's signature sound, especially the beautiful bird's chirp in the high harmonics, is a true signature of his. Shaham was backed by the famous British conductor Nicholas McGuigan, known for his excellent interpretation of baroque works. He is known for his excellent interpretations of baroque works, and here too, the orchestra spun out a lively sound that employed period technique, and Shaham's light violin interacted with the fast tempo. The breathtakingly beautiful and lustrous sound of Shaham's 1699 Stradivarius "Countess Polignac" is also to be enjoyed to the fullest. Naxos Japan
