Mozart: Symphonies Nos. 35 & 36, Violin Concerto No. 3

For the third volume of their complete Mozart series, Maxim Emelyanychev and Il Pomo d'Oro bring together the Haffner and Linz symphonies, composed in 1782 and 1783. At this point, Mozart had fully established himself as a composer of opera and dramatic works, and he conceived these symphonies with the mindset of a man of the stage - boldly! The charismatic conductor and pianist Maxim Emelyanychev captures their dramatic momentum and freshness with the verve and refinement for which he is known. Under his baton, the musicians of Il Pomo d'Oro deliver an intense, authentic, and incisive interpretation. Joining this new volume is violinist Aylen Pritchin, a long-time collaborator of Emelyanychev and the orchestra, who offers an electrifying performance of the Third Violin Concerto - rounding out a definitely daring album.
