Program:
MOZART: Sinfonia concertante, KV 364
STRAUSS: Also sprach Zarathustra, Op. 30
MOZART: Piano Concerto No. 27 &ndash Vienna Philharmonic, Karl Boehm, conductor Emil Gilels, piano (DG 419059) Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart Piano Concerto No. 27


Description:
You'll go in for the Strauss ("2001" anyone?), but don't underestimate the Mozart. This little known Sinfonia for violin and viola is fan-flippin-tastic! It's a great performance with great soloists, and the Viennese know their Mozart better than anyone.

Enter this week's Encore Contest

A of Troy, AL won last week's contest by id'ing Schubert's Erlking. Congratulations, Catherine!
