Violin Concertos no. 4 and no. 5 "Turkish"

Album by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart & Pinchas Zukerman & English Chamber Orchestra & Daniel Barenboim

Violin Concertos No. 4 and No. 5 "Turkish" are two violin concertos by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, both composed in 1775. They exemplify Classical-era balance between lyrical solo writing and transparent orchestral textures, with the second concerto featuring a lively, folk-inflected finale and representing a key stage in Mozart's development of the violin concerto repertoire.
