Just as often, you stumble upon middle-aged artistis achieving mature greatness: The german budget label Arte Nova has issued all Mozart piano concertos by pianist Matthias Kirschnereit and the Bamberg Symphony under Frank Beermann.
I sampled several volumes (including Volume. I, with the Kv 414 and Kv 449 concertos), some of which can be had from Portland, Ore. – based Allegro (www.allegro-music.com). Even the best Mozart pianist have a single approach to the composer; this one fashion himself specifically to each concerto, often with various degrees of period-performance influence. |
