Overview

Concertos for Violin and Orchestra - 1 features the exquisite compositions of Josef Mysliveček, interpreted with finesse by violin virtuoso Shizuka Ishikawa, accompanied by the Dvořák Chamber Orchestra under the masterful direction of Libor Pešek. Released by Supraphon in collaboration with Denon/Nippon Columbia, this album showcases two of Mysliveček's violin concertos: the Concerto in C Major and the Concerto in E Major.

The vibrant Concerto in C Major opens with an energetic Allegro con spirito, transitions into a tender Largo, and concludes with a lively Allegro. The Concerto in E Major is equally captivating, beginning with a dynamic Allegro, offering a serene Adagio, and culminating in a spirited Presto. Ishikawa’s expressive performance brings Mysliveček's Baroque-influenced style to life, while the orchestra's nuanced playing under Pešek’s baton creates a harmonious balance of sound.

This album is an essential addition for classical music aficionados, particularly those who appreciate the delicate interplay between violin and orchestra.
