Violin-Konzerte / Violin Concertos No.3 K216 • No.4 K218 • No.5 K219

Released in 1989 on the Capriccio label, this recording features violinist Christian Altenburger performing Mozart’s third, fourth, and fifth violin concertos alongside the Deutsche Bachsolisten. The album emerged during a period when the Capriccio label was actively expanding its catalog of classical repertoire, focusing on high-fidelity digital recordings that aimed to showcase German orchestral ensembles and rising soloists of the era.

The production highlights the interplay between the soloist and the chamber-sized ensemble, reflecting a trend in the late 1980s toward crisp, historically informed clarity while maintaining the expressive Romantic warmth favored by concert violinists of the time. Altenburger, known for his refined technique, brought a precise yet lyrical sensibility to these staple works of the Mozart repertoire, and the recording was received as a solid, standard addition to the classical discography.
