1.Mozart: Piano Concerto No.27; Concerto For Two Pianos K.365; Schubert: Fantasie D. 940 [Germany] by: Mozart, Gilels, Vpo, Bohms July 02, 2001
Average Rating: >>More Details		Off The Bookshelf's Price: $32.99 Prices subject to change. Used Price: $8.39
Since the early Seventies, something deep inside the soul of Emil Gilels changed. He transformed from a pianist into a musician, the level of expressiveness achieved majuscule proportions, he emphasized the cantabile line without lacking that vigorous fingering, austere virility and majestic musicality. This version of the Kv. 595 still remains among the great interpretations of this piece ever made. And you might also add the radiant version of Haskil.- Frucsay, (by far my desert island choice), the enigmatic performance of Curzon- Britten, the mesmerizing reading of Demus with The Collegium Aureum or the majestic version of Schiff. Vegh. The Kv. 365 played with his daughter Elena Gilels is worthy to keep in mind. But there is another genuine jewel: the freshness ... Read More

3.Mozart: Legendary Interpretations by Rudolf Serkin from: Sony October 04, 1991

Legendary, indeed! These interpretations of Mozart's best piano concertos are, along with Kempff's recordings of Nos. 23 & 24, my all-time favorites. Serkin, at the peak of his powers here, plays with sparkling warmth and eloquent tenderness, with crisp articulation and perfectly chosen tempos. The accompaniment by Alexander Schneider and George Szell shows wonderful rapport with the soloist. Sony has done a fine remastering job; the sound is warmer and cleaner than on my original LPs. These discs are a bargain at twice the price. Get them before they go out of print again.

4.Mozart: The Piano Concertos from: Polygram Records February 13, 1990

For those a bit astonished and depressed by the curt dismissal of Mozart's genius in the review below--largely, I gather, because the composer did not equate profundity with tonnage--please note that the same reviewer gave a rave review to, of all things, Wilhelm Furtwangler's Second Symphony--a tedious work that has been on artificial life support now for over fifty years solely due to the magic of that conductor's name. Knocking Mozart (and Beethoven, and Bach, and Wagner, and Brahms in turn) is a recurring fad that crops up during eras when the citizenry get uppity about their betters (largely due to ignorance or inattention) or become all bedazzled by superficialities. I am reminded of a famous comment by Donald Francis Tovey in regard to the 19th century critic Hanslick, and I ... Read More

5.Mozart: Piano Concerto No. 27; Exsultate, jubilate; Piano Quartet in G minor from: BBC Legends April 13, 1999
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $12.48
This is really a wonderful CD. I have heard dozens of recordings of the "Exsultate, jubilate," and this performance is by far the best. Finally, I feel as though I have found "the" performance of this piece! What makes this performance thoroughly enjoyable is the "spirit" of it: the tempos are perfect, the orchestral playing sparkles, and Ameling is fantastic (as usual). If you can't stand "authentic performances" (which I loathe), and you want your Mozart passionately performed, then this CD is for you! Britten is a wonderful conductor, and how can you possibly go wrong with Elly Ameling? You could collect every available CD with her on it, and you wouldn't go wrong with a single one -- she's that good and that consistent. I highly recommend this CD to anyone ... Read More

6.Mozart: Piano Concertos Nos. 23 & 27 from: Sony February 08, 1994

The orchestra on this CD is scrawny, and plays barely competently. That on its own should exclude this disc from consideration, except that the soloist, Reznikovskaya, is actually very good. She possesses a solid and fluent technique, beautifully adapted to Mozart. She plays these works with a superb sense of structure and beautiful lyric qualities. Her tone is unfailingly lovely. Tempos in the middle movements are on the slow side, but you always feel that Reznikovskaya is heading somewhere and not dragging. I have often felt that when hearing pianists on Infinity, such as the equally excellent Igor Urjash and Pavel Jegorov, that they deserve first class presentation as befits such artists. The sound engineering on this CD at least is very good, clear enough so you can hear the one double bass ... Read More

Oh! These recordings are so... sublime. His touch and timing are absolutely masterful. It soars. This is the best recording of #21 I have ever hear. Just listen to it! Highest recommendation.

8.Mozart: Piano Concertos No 19 & 27 / Haskil, Fricsay from: Dg Imports July 01, 1996
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $10.49
Clara Haskil was an extraordinary artist. She represents Mozart spirit per excellence. Her nuance, rapture and absolute domain of the Mozartian language is more than obvious when you listen very carefully every one of her different interpretations. In the case of the Concert No. 19 , a minor Concert in the universe of Mozart's Giants Piano Concertos, she extracts all the possible essence , giving to this Rhapsodic Concert the Operatic character so well accented in the last movement. But realize as she elevates this Andante to unimaginable levels. Despite the fact she played some Mozart piano Concertos with Markevitch, she established with Ferenc Fricsay an invisible and evident rapport you miss in Igor. Honesty, conviction and above all a profound devotion for Mozart is something you ... Read More

9.Mozart: The Piano Concertos from: Archiv Produktion March 13, 2001
Average Rating: >>More Details		Off The Bookshelf's Price: $71.98 Prices subject to change. Used Price: $57.49
On these recordings we have a "copy" of a primitive fortepiano recorded at a considerable distance. It sounds like someone backstage is plucking rubber bands. Can this be how Mozart expected to make his name and fame, playing a toy piano way off in the background somewhere? "Authentic", my ---. Later fortepianos (e.g. the Grafs from the 1820's) developed some tone and volume, but even these cannot hold their own against a full orchestra. If you are looking for a recording of the complete concerti, the recordings Geza Anda made with the Salzburg Mozarteum are still available and are very fine indeed.

10.Mozart: The Piano Concertos by: Malcolm Bilson, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, English Baroque Soloists, John Eliot Gardiner February 08, 1991
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $54.95
Being the fortepiano-maker's daughter, I might be biased, but I think that Mozart's piano concertos deserve to played on period instruments. Bilson's performance only improves the experience. I recently heard No. 26 performed by the Chicago Symphony Orchestra with Daniel Barenboim on the piano and couldn't help but wish that the piano weren't a modern one. I've listened to this set of CDs for the last 6 years. In my opinion, it's a must for fans of these wonderful pieces.
