Sinfonia Concertante in E-flat major for violin, viola and orchestra, K. 364

Recordings worth hearing

• Perlman, Zukerman / Mehta / Israel Philharmonic

  Reference

  Deutsche Grammophon · 1983

  The whole piece is the exchange between the two soloists. Perlman and Zukerman were classmates, and it is impossible to tell who is leading.

• Grumiaux, Pelliccia / C. Davis / London Symphony Orchestra

  Historical

  Philips · 1964

  One of the few recordings in which the viola is not overpowered. The C minor slow movement is genuinely dark here rather than rhetorically so.
