MOZART: FLUTE CONCERTOS & PIECES
The testimony of an artist’s musical process on the basis of Mozart’s flute concerti is particularly interesting, because these works are not incontestable masterpieces of a mature composer, the performance of which could be a lifelong task for any artist; indeed, the flute concerti K. 313 and 314 as well as the Andante K. 315 were commissioned works composed by the twenty-two year old Mozart.
If Peter-Lukas Graf now returns to these works, interpreting them with the additional artistic knowledge gathered in the meantime, the young Mozart of the Mannheim years acquires a new aesthetic balance: the works are raised far above the young composer and lose their occasional character.
Indeed, Mozart once confessed in a letter that in the flute concerti he had to write for an instrument “he could not stand”. Peter-Lukas Graf mentioned this fact on the occasion of his former recording: “For us these works are all the more astonishing, for they are written just for flute with an extraordinary sensitivity to and awareness of this instrument”.

With this recording Peter-Lukas Graf presents his new interpretation of Mozart’s most important works for flute and orchestra. Its purpose is not to revise Graf’s former interpretation (Claves P 207/8), but rather to document his artistic development.
