on: November 28, 2005, 11:04:00 PM

Ok, this is similar to my other topic but this time -

Pick your top 5 Mozart Piano Concertos! I'm trying to become more familiar with them and need a starting point...!

EDIT: Removed the Concerto list, it was friggin big and messy, lol

My favourites are No.21, followed by No.23, No.17, No.19 and finaly No.9!

For the record, Brendels (which I have) are lovely! But I would love to indulge in some other interpretations, namely Ashkenazy like you mentioned in the other thread, he is one of my top 2 pianists!

*Undecided on Ashkenazy and Berezovsky* ^_^;;

The Mozart Piano Concerto might be my favorite art form, I've played several of them. Right now my favorites are...

#24 in c minor K. 491 (preparing for 300th birthday concert YAY!

)
#14 in Eb major K. 449
#22 in Eb major K. 482
#17 in G major K. 453
#20 in d minor K.466 (of course)

I also enjoy #13 in C major K.415 and #19 in F major K. 459. Had you asked on another day they might be in the top 5; I really love them all!

The first Concerto I performed with an actual Orchestra, not counting Carnival of the Animals;

seems like the other day, "tempus fugit"....

No 9 'jeunehomme' is a stunning masterpiece of innovation and radiant beauty, with a slow movement of heart-stopping, but contained, griefand loss. (and from one so young )There's a not bad busoni transc. of this movement incidentally.

also c minor k491, a maj k488, c maj k467, . bflat k450 also lovely

perahia good in all, brendel too.
