Piano Concertos nos. 20 & 23
Album by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart & Khatia Buniatishvili & Academy of St Martin in the Fields
Piano Concertos Nos. 20 and 23 is a recording of two piano concertos by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, composed in 1785 and 1786. The works exemplify Classical-era concerto writing, pairing clear, lyrical piano lines with orchestral accompaniment and juxtaposing the darker, dramatic character of the D minor concerto with the more serene, lyrical qualities of the A major concerto, reflecting Mozart's mature handling of form and expressive contrast in his middle period.
