Mozart's five most brilliant concertos for violin were all penned before the age of 19. Mozart was not even 15 years old when he began composing violin concertos that would serve as a backdrop at Salzburg receptions. An insatiable drive for independence would however lead the young Konzertmeister to overtly challenge musical forms, innovate with genres, humor and frivolity, all of which can be heard in this delightful first collaboration between Isabelle Faust and the musicians of Il Giardino Armonico conducted by Giovanni Antonini. This recording was the Gramophone Award Recording of the Year 2017 and a Classica Choc de l'année 2017.
