Josef Mysliveček - Violiin Concertos - Sinfonia - Ouverture
Collegium 1704, Václav Luks
Leila Schayegh, violin



Fanfare Magazine doesn't like the violin sound on this album.
They seem to prefer modern instruments.

I find Schayegh brilliant, and i do like HIP.
Light and optimistic pieces, that make one think of Mozart's early violin concertos.
And it seems they were inspired by Mysliveček's violin concertos.
Young Mozart was a great admirer of his Czech colleague.

Václav Luks tries to make the composer's works popular again, like he does with Zelenka.

He was kind enough to sign this CD yesterday after a long concert with his ensemble and choir.
They brought Händel's Messiah.
The ensemble was great, the choir also, the 4 solo singers decent to good.
Luks is kind of hyperkinetic on the scene, and clearly inspires his musicians.
