Piano Concertos K. 238 & 503

From the youthful Concerto No. 6 (1776) to the almost testamentary Concerto No. 25 (1786), Mozart’s style underwent considerable evolution. In ten years, the young prodigy gave way to a master fully aware that he was opening up new horizons for the genre. With this fourth album in their series, Kristian Bezuidenhout and the Freiburger Barockorchester continue their exploration of a corpus visited so many times before; but with them, we have the impression we are rediscovering each note as if it were ‘the first time’.

Performed on a copy of a c.1805 Walter & Sohn piano (Vienna) by Paul McNulty.
