Symphony No 29 / Violin Concertos Nos 2 & 3

'Midori Seiler's playing, full of light and shade, follows in total harmony the superb intuitions of van Immerseel....A superb succcess; we look forward keenly to a second release'
Philippe Simon - R10

Written in Salzburg, the violin concertos were very likely intended for his personal use. There can certainly be no doubt that his performances displayed all the musical qualities which Leopold Mozart required of an orchestral musician, and a fortiori of a Konzertmeister: flexibility, discipline, understanding and interpretation of rhythmic and agogic markings, refinements of articulation and phrasing - in short, all the parameters which Wolfgang introduced into his own compositions. The numerous 'speaking' figures, the incredible variety and refinement of bowing techniques, and the vocally inclined melodic lines, with their frequent dynamic inflections, constitute both the charm and the difficulty of his works for violin.

Midori Seiler belongs to this tradition, realising her own cadenzas in the concertos and holding the post of Konzertmeister in the Anima Eterna Orchestra, where she plays both Mozart solo parts.
