Piano Concertos nos. 20 & 23
Album by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart & Allan Schiller & London Philharmonic Orchestra & Charles Mackerras
Piano Concertos nos. 20 & 23 are two piano concertos by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, composed in 1785 and 1786. They showcase classical-era concerto writing by combining expressive, song-like solo writing with orchestral dialogue and a contrast between lyrical slow movements and more virtuosic outer movements, reflecting Mozart's development in his mature Viennese period and his expansion of the concerto's expressive and formal range.
First released: April 1975
