London Symphony Orchestra/Nathalie Stutzmann

Mozart wrote all five of his violin concertos aged just nineteen. No 5, the Turkish, is the best of them, a dazzling showcase for the soloist, full of memorable tunes. Listen out for the extraordinary final movement where Mozart interrupts the music’s graceful mood with a wild, percussive section that imitates the sounds of a Turkish band.

An enormous cathedral in sound, Bruckner’s Symphony No 5 is a deeply personal expression of his Christian faith. It’s also one of his most finely wrought, its final movement dominated by a magnificent fugue.

Violinist Janine Jansen, appearing as part of her LSO Artist Portrait series, combines a sweetness of tone with technical precision, perfectly suited to Mozart’s filigree elegance. And the French conductor Nathalie Stutzmann brings her renowned passion for Bruckner to bear on the magnificent Fifth.
