MOZART’S VIOLIN CONCERTO NO. 5
Franz Schubert Symphony No. 5
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart Violin Concerto No. 5
Ludwig van Beethoven Symphony No. 2
Maria Włoszczowska director/violin
Royal Northern Sinfonia
Mozart’s Violin Concerto is one of those pieces where you hear it and go ‘Oh it’s this one! Famed for the delicate beauty of its solo violin part and fizzing back and forth exchanges between soloist and orchestra. Schubert’s most popular symphony starts proceedings with a poignancy that seems quite out of a place for the teenager that wrote it, while Beethoven’s Second Symphony ends the evening in lively, upbeat style.
