For the 13th volume in the ‘Next Generation Mozart Soloists’ series, Georgian pianist Giorgi Gigashvili, who has already released a highly acclaimed debut album (Alpha 930), has agreed to tackle the early piano concertos of the very young Mozart: "these works already reveal his brilliance in melody, elegance and charm. Paradoxically, the main difficulty for the performer lies in the transparency of these works: every single note is exposed, which requires absolute clarity and precision". Another interesting feature of this recording is the concertante repertoire for several solo instruments, specifically the Concertone in C major for two violins and orchestra from 1774, performed here by violinists (and sisters) Veriko and Sofiko Tchumburidze, who emphasise the work’s chamber music character. Pascal Deuber (the new principal horn of the Tonhalle-Orchester Zürich) highlights the unceasing lyricism and fluidity of Mozart’s third horn concerto, the opening work in this new journey of discovery, conducted by Howard Griffiths.
