MOZART
Sinfonia Concertante in E flat major for Violin, Viola and Orchestra, KV 364
Concertone in C major for Two Violins and Orchestra, KV 190

FIRST RELEASE ON CD Mozart’s sublime masterpiece for violin and viola, the Sinfonia Concertante, was recorded on a few occasions by Marriner, but strangely enough, this version with two of the Academy’s foremost musicians - Alan Loveday and Stephen Shingles - has lain buried in the archives. Now, it receives its first release on CD and likewise its coupling, the much lesser known Concertante for two violins in one of Sir Colin Davis’ earliest recordings (for L'Oiseau-Lyre).
