MOZART: PIANO CONCERTOS 22 & 25; RONDO NO. 3 - ALFRED BRENDEL, VIENNA VOLKSOPER ORCHESTRA, PAUL ANGERER

MOZART: Piano Concertos 22 & 25 plus Rondo A minor K511

Alfred Brendel
Vienna Volksoper Orchestra
Paul Angerer

“Another unforgettable early Brendel coupling, with the sound very respectable in its CD transfer. The E flat concerto is better-focussed than (before on LP) and the excellent wind-playing is well caught. Brendel plays the first movement of No.22 with authority, the Andante variations very beautifully and the Finale enchantingly. No. 25 shows Brendel at his most commanding and Angerer sets the scene admirably with an imposing opening …Again the solo phrasing is eminently stylish, the …lyrical theme of the 1st movement giving much pleasure and the Finale given the lightest touch.” (Penguin Guide 3 stars)
