Pieres Plays Mozart PIano Concertos
It’s hard not to hear Mozart’s last Piano Concerto No 27, K595 as a valedictory statement: its slow movement of luminous simplicity, the harmonic fantasy and experimentation of its first movement, the restrained joy of its finale.
But this music’s special soundworld – exquisitely matched to the radiance of Maria João Pires’ pianism – could so easily have heralded a new departure for Mozart’s piano concerto writing. The C Major Concerto, written just a few years before, belongs to another world of extrovert manners and expressive generosity – qualities that Dvo?àk’s Legends distil in refined but rustic miniature.
