Album & Artwork
Pianist Elizabeth Sombart selected four concertos for this album, calling them 'Everests of the Mozartian repertoire' and 'four summits in the global history of music'.
Composer's Artistic Vision
The booklet suggests Mozart's music has the power to make listeners 'whole', to soothe and to heal them, inviting them to participate in the music.
Compositional Technique
In Concerto K.488, Mozart replaced the usual oboes with two clarinets, giving the orchestra a soft and soothing sound.
Composer's Artistic Vision
Mozart's piano concertos are described as a 'unique and privileged' musical entry in his personal diary, reflecting his inner world.
Compositional Technique
The D minor key of Concerto K.466 was known to composers for its 'expressive colour', and its opening features syncopated rhythms and chromatic shifts reminiscent of Mozart's opera Don Giovanni.
