Patrick Gallois - Mozart: Flute Concertos (2004) [SACD]

On his European tour of 1777-8, the young Mozart sought to escape the restrictions and limitations of his position in Salzburg and seek his fortune. Along the way various amateur players and rich patrons commissioned works, among them the two Flute Concertos and the Concerto for Flute and Harp. Although written for amateur players, these works are no less challenging for the soloists or enjoyable for the listener. They include many examples of the characteristically rich melodies and daring harmonies that were later to immortalise Mozart’s greatest music.
