About Violin Concerto No. 5(concerto)
Mozart’s *Violin Concerto No. 5* (1775), often called the “Turkish,” is a Classical-era concerto that moves from courtly poise to sudden flashes of folk-like color in its final movement. At David Geffen Hall, Gil Shaham joins the New York Philharmonic in a program that places this concerto alongside other Mozart violin works, letting its contrasts register clearly. New York has heard it for generations, from early Carnegie Hall seasons to today’s Lincoln Center stage. One clear point: its wit depends less on volume than on timing and articulation.
