Piano Concertos no. 19, K. 459 and no. 23, K. 488

Album by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart & English Chamber Orchestra & Murray Perahia

Piano Concertos No. 19, K.459 and No. 23, K.488 are piano concertos by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, composed in 1784 and 1786 respectively. They exemplify the Classical-era concerto, combining elegant, lyrical piano writing with clear orchestral dialogue and thematic development, and are representative of Mozart's middle-period output as he refined the solo concerto's expressive and structural possibilities.
First released: 1984
