Piano Concertos Nos. 20, 27

Album by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart & Orchestre de Chambre de Lausanne & Armin Jordan & Maria João Pires

Piano Concertos Nos. 20 and 27 are piano concertos by Austrian composer Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, composed in 1785 and 1791 respectively. They demonstrate Classical-era concerto practice — No. 20 is marked by a dramatic minor-key character and tense interplay between soloist and orchestra while No. 27 displays a later, more lyrical and restrained manner, together tracing a development in Mozart's concertante writing toward greater inwardness in his final years.
