Every three years, the atmosphere is full of the sound
of violins in Augsburg. This is the time when upand-
coming violin stars from all over the world participate
in the Leopold Mozart International Violin
Competition, playing before a renowned jury and
competing for the coveted Mozart Prize. The list of
previous first-prize winners is a long one, and includes
such outstanding names as Isabelle Faust, Benjamin
Schmid, Lena Neudauer and most recently in 2013,
Maia Cabeza.
OehmsClassics is releasing a Mozart and Schnittke
programme with the prize winner on the occasion of
the opening of the competition and for the Presentation
Concert of this CD on 2 May 2016 in Augsburg.
