Thomas Zehetmair Violin

Mozart Serenade No. 6, K. 239, Serenata Notturna

John Kinsella Nocturne

Bruckner String Quintet in F Major (for string orchestra arr. Zehetmair)

Mozart’s Serenata Notturna was designed for a Salzburg special occasion and it brims with comic contrasts between thunderous tuttis and fragile solo textures with extravagant cadenzas for violin and double bass, in a rustic finale. John Kinsella’s enigmatic Nocturne was originally the slow movement of his Violin Concerto No. 2. Moody and contemplative, it is a powerful nugget. Zehetmair’s arrangement of Anton Bruckner’s string quintet is enlarged in sound and gains momentum with tension and passion.
