Mozart, Violin Concerto No. 4 / Nathan Mierdl

Nathan Mierdl, principal first violin with the Philharmonic, takes the podium for a tailor-made programme. The mischievous smile of ‘Papa Haydn’ – as Mozart nicknamed him – hovers over the final rondeau of his Fourth Violin Concerto, the most virtuosic of the five, which even features an Alsatian musette.
