Even though Mozart’s music is comprised of very few duos, these ones have an original story! Composed in only two days and two nights, they were delivered under Michael Haydn’s name (Joseph’s brother) to help him with an order. But it was Mozart who composed these beautiful duos for violon and viola that the talented Renaud Capuçon, who needs no introduction, and Paul Zientara, viola prodigy will offer us.
