KV 85

By combining the 120 extant measures of Mozart's unfinished Concerto in D major for violin and piano, K. App. 56 (K. 315f) with the Sonata in D major for piano and violin, K. 306, composer Philip Wilby has fashioned a performing version that seems reasonably backed by musical evidence, competent in orchestration, and perhaps ingenious enough to meet the approval of some Mozartians. Unfortunately for listeners seeking a major revelation, this reconstruction is short on the felicitous surprises and touching expressions one might find in a fully conceived work by Mozart, and seems a bit ordinary in substance and artificial in development.

Georg Friedrich Handel spent four years in Italy, between Florence, Rome, Naples and Venice and he was there known as "Il Sassone". In 1707, at the age of just 22, in Rome he wrote music of an emotional depth. For Cardinal Ottoboni and the Marchese Ruspoli the young Handel wrote several works, including the cantatas presented in this concert footage from the Internationale Barocktage Stift Melk 2006.
