Can you spot the difference between this and other orchestra pieces? What’s missing from the musicians’ hands? That’s right—the bow! The technique of playing a stringed instrument by plucking its strings is called “pizzicato.”
The first soloist and conductor of this concert is the charismatic first conductor of the Vienna Schonbrunn Palace orchestra, Russell McGregor. McGregor plays a violin manufactured by Carlo Giuseppe Testore in 1697, the "younger sister" of the famous viola belonging to Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart!
