Mozart, Divertimento in D major, K. 205 (Mozartwoche 1998)

The Camerata Academica Salzburg was founded in 1951 by Bernhard Paumgartner, who was the ensemble's mentor for many years and secured its extraordinary reputation. Sándor Végh was the artistic director of the chamber orchestra from 1978 to 1997, and since then the ensemble has been in the hands of Sir Roger Norrington. Alexander Janiczek, who conducts this concert and plays the solo violin, was born in Salzburg and has been the concertmaster of the Camerata Academica Salzburg since 1991. This recording was made in January 1998 during the 1998 Mozartwoche in Salzburg.
