Chloe Chua, a teenage violinist and joint winner of the junior Menuhin Competition in 2018, presents mature interpretations of Mozart's Violin Concertos at ages 15 and 16. Supported by the Singapore Symphony Orchestra under conductor Hans Graf, these recordings are grounded in traditional frameworks but shine with Chua's clean tone and elegant phrasing. The album comprises five concertos, additional standalone movements, and the Sinfonia Concertante featuring violist Ziyu He. While the performances may not be groundbreaking, they deliver a worthwhile and engaging listening experience with notable artistry.
