Piano Concerto no. 21 "Elvira Madigan" / Violin Concerto no. 5

Album by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart & Takako Nishizaki & Peter Lang & Capella Istropolitana & Stephen Gunzenhauser & Christoph Eberle

Piano Concerto No. 21 in C major, K.467 ("Elvira Madigan") and Violin Concerto No. 5 in A major, K.219 are concertos by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, composed in 1785 and 1775 respectively. Both exemplify Mozart's Classical style, featuring clear sonata-allegro structures, poised lyrical writing and balanced orchestral textures; the piano concerto contains a particularly lyrical slow movement while the fifth violin concerto represents a mature, virtuosic contribution to his concerto output that influenced later Classical solo concertos.
