Every three years, the atmosphere is full of the sound of violins in Augsburg. This is the time when up and 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.
