Mozart: Streich-quintette

CAPUCON IBRAGIMOVA CAUSSE HENNINO HAGEN

This brilliant recording features Mozart’s too rarely heard String Quintets performed by five incredible musicians and recorded during Mozart Week at the Festival Salzburg in 2014. Mozart Week is presented by the Salzburg Mozarteum Foundation each year. “It is very important to us that the Mozart Week is not misunderstood as being set like a fine gemstone; our intention is not to present Mozart as a solitaire, but to show his work in relation to our own time. The festival is also intended to function as a “music laboratory” in which our perception of the art can be developed and deepened, since past and present reflect each other.” So wrote Marc Minkowski in his forward to the 2014 festival. These five chamber musicians- Renaud Capucon, Alina Ibragimova, Gerard Causse, Lea Hennino, and Clemens Hagen- perform these works with historical accuracy, but with a modern flair.
