NICOLA BENEDETTI & LIONEL BRINGUIER

The solemn, compact overture to La Clemenza di Tito (The Clemency of Titus) is a final yet quintessential example of one of the most characteristic, human traits in Mozart's music: nobility of spirit. The same might also be said of his Violin Concerto No. 3, even though it was written in his youth (which never actually determines anything in the case of the Salzburg composer): a dynamic piece that fully reflects the gallant mood of the time.
