Latvian violinist Baiba Skride performs all five of Mozart's violin concertos, with her own cadenzas. "I know that there are so many different and super recordings of Mozart, but I think it is important to enjoy the music you have heard a thousand times and will hear a thousand times more with new eyes and simply allow the music to play," Skride said.
