Piano Concertos nos. 5 & 8

Album by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart & Malcolm Bilson & English Baroque Soloists & Sir John Eliot Gardiner

Piano Concertos nos. 5 & 8 are piano concertos by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, composed in 1773 and 1776. They exemplify Mozart's early Classical style, featuring clear formal structures, prominent piano virtuosity within light orchestral textures, and a balance of galant melodic grace and emerging sophistication that marks a transition in his concerto writing.
First released: 1987
