Notes & Reviews:

Gidon Kremer is, and has always been, one of the most headstrong and original artists in the music business and has been hailed by Herbert von Karajan as the 'world’s best violonist'. He has always kept himself young musically with his spontaneity and a readiness to take risks, and has often found himself functioning as a crossover figure as he discovered fresh routes through well-trodden paths in music. Gidon Kremer and Kremerata Baltica, presents music by W.A. Mozart coupled with two contemporary works inspired by the great composer. Estonian Arvo Part’s "Mozart-Adagio" composed in the mid 1990s and "Moz-Art a la Haydn," a humorous reflection on the two Austrian masters by Russian composer Alfred Schnittke (1934-1998) side by side with famous orchestral and chamber music by Mozart.
