Together with its predecessor K218, the here presented Violin Concerto K219 in A major, written in December 1775, is Mozart's most mature work in that form. Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart composed his last concerto for string instruments, the Sinfonia Concertante for Violin, Viola and Orchestra in E flat major K364, in Salzburg, in 1779 and 1780. This work essentially follows the Baroque concerto grosso tradition, with its alternations of solo and ripieno passages, albeit now enriched by elements of galant Classical style.

Mikhail Pochekin is one of the most distinguished violinists of his generation. His expressive and bright artistic charisma helped him to earn the love of the audience and has been recognised by international critics and many of the world's finest orchestras. Mikhail is a passionate and committed chamber musician.

Ivan Pochekin is one of the most brilliant exponents of the Russian school of violin playing in his generation. The whirlwind progress of his career began in 2005, when he won the Third International Niccolò Paganini Violin Competition in Moscow. Ivan Pochekin is particularly interested in the field of chamber music. He also plays the viola.
