Giovanni Battista Viotti composed his 23rd Violin Concerto in 1792, and alongside his previous concerto it remains one of his most famous works. This concerto demonstrates Viotti's virtuosity as a violinist, not least in the spectacular cadenza at the end of the first movement. The second movement Andante gives the soloist a little time to breathe before the joyous finale once again calls for a sound technique and indeed a further solo cadenza.
