Info for Mozart: Flute Concerto No. 1 in G Major, K. 313 & Flute Concerto No. 2 in D Major, K. 314

This Album consists of famous works by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart: His two concertos for Flute and Orchestra in G and D major. The 2nd concerto is an arrangement for flute and string orchestra. The fabulous soloist of both works is Spanish flutist Diego Garcia Conde, accompanied by the Cologne New Philharmonic Orchestra under the direction of Volker Hartung.

The Flute Concerto No. 1 in G major, K. 313, was written in 1778 by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.

Commissioned by the Dutch surgeon and amateur flutist Ferdinand Dejean [Wikidata] (1731–1797) in 1777, Mozart was supposed to provide four flute quartets and three flute concertos, yet he only completed two of the three concertos, this one being the first.[1] The Andante for Flute and Orchestra, K. 315, may have been written as an alternative slow movement for this concerto, but there is no extant manuscript and it is therefore difficult to ascertain Mozart's intentions clearly (this also means that current editions are based on the earliest editions rather than an autograph).

The Flute Concerto No. 2 in D major, K. 314 (285d) is an adaptation of the original oboe concerto. Dutch flautist Ferdinand Dejean [Wikidata] (1731–1797) commissioned Mozart for four flute quartets and three flute concerti, of which Mozart only completed three quartets and one new flute concerto. Instead of creating a new second concerto, Mozart rearranged the oboe concerto he had written a year earlier as the second flute concerto, although with substantial changes for it to fit with what the composer deemed flute-like. However, Dejean did not pay Mozart for this concerto because it was based on the oboe concerto.
