Mozart: Divertimento K... - Nuovo Trio Italiano D'archi - Audio CD (Arrives in 50 days)

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756-1791) wrote his Divertimento in E♭ major, KV563, a string trio, in 1788, the year in which he completed his last three symphonies. It is dedicated to Michael Puchberg, a fellow Freemason, who lent money to Mozart. The premiere was in Dresden on April 13, 1789, with Mozart playing the viola part.

he great musicologist Alfred Einstein said of this extraordinary work: "it is a true chamber-music work, and grew to such large proportions only because it was intended to offer something special in the way of art, invention, and good spirits. ... Each instrument is primus inter pares, every note is significant, every note is a contribution to spiritual and sensuous fulfillment in sound." Einstein called it "one of his noblest works." The work sets the highest instrumental standards and requires three equally virtuoso players.

The Mozart Divertimento is paired on this CD with the String Trio in B flat by Franz Schubert.

Played with great dedication and refinement by the Nuovo Trio Italiano d'Archi (Alessandro Milani violin · Luca Ranieri viola · Pierpaolo Toso cello).
