Two concerts from around 1775, the third and the fifth. Mozart made five of these, short pieces of around half an hour each. They’re quite entertaining to listen to, though I would recommend a slightly better performance than this one.

In my search for conductor José Luis-García I found there are two of that name, both born in 1944. One is still alive and is a film director. That is not this one. The conductor of this piece was a much beloved leader of the English Chamber Orchestra for twenty years. He died in 2011.
