The Amati Chamber Orchestra of the Netherlands was founded in Maastricht in 1992, initiated by Gil Sharon. While its activities are not exactly international, this recording features bright and dynamic performances. Some praise the ingenious arrangement in ①, where the viola is tuned a semitone higher, allowing it to resonate equally with the violin. It was re-released in 2005 as part of the Brilliant Classics Mozart Edition (170 CDs). Gil Sharon, a Romanian-born, Israeli-raised violinist, is active in the Netherlands. Uri Gandelman was the principal viola player for the Israel Philharmonic.
