About

The virtuoso violinist Francesca Dego joins forces with the legendary conductor and period performance pioneer Sir Roger Norrington for this recording of Mozart’s Third and Fourth Violin Concertos – the first time either soloist or conductor has recorded the works. The outstanding musicians of the Royal Scottish National Orchestra provide the accompaniment, with reduced numbers of strings and antiphonal violin seating to replicate the size and seating of the Salzburg court orchestra which gave the first performances of these works. Norrington’s attention to detail and style is enthusiastically embraced by soloist and orchestra, resulting in a beautifully fresh and captivating interpretation of these well-known works.

Dego completes the album with the Violin Sonata in E minor, op.1 no.4, with her regular recital partner, Francesca Leonardi.

Reviews

Here we truly have the best of all worlds. Those for whom the heartfelt radiance of old-schoo Mozart still holds a special appeal will find in Francesca Dego a kindred spirit – her enraptured sense of musical line and gently cushioned sonority are balm to the senses. ... There is a strong sense of collaboration here, illuminated by moments of cherishable musical correspondence between soloist and orchestra.  Julian Haylock (Recording of the Month)
