Mozart's Sinfonia Concertante for violin and viola

Fiona Talkington brings you an afternoon of exclusive music-making, including a spotlight on compositions by Mozart, performances from Freiburg Baroque Orchestra and we will hear the Nash Ensemble at this year's Bath Mozartfest.

Throughout the week, Classical Live is featuring specially recorded performances of music by Mozart.Today, his miraculous Sinfonia Concertante for violin and viola with James Ehnes and Antoine Tamestit. Staying within the Mozartian theme, we will also hear the Nash Ensemble perform Mozart's late Piano Trio in G major from this year's Bath Mozartfest.

Plus, there is a spotlight on Freiburg Baroque Orchestra who aim to enliven the world of Baroque music with new sounds. Today they play Bach's Overture No. 1 C major with violinist and director Gottfried von der Goltz and Jan Dismas Zelenka's Hipocondrie with violinist and director Hannah Visser.

And there's another chance to catch one this year's series of commissions '25 for 25' marking the stories of the first 25 years of this century in music. Today Thea Musgrave looks back on a major event from the year 2022.
