Klavierkonzerte no. 17 K. 453 / no. 18 K. 456

Album by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart & Christian Zacharias & Radio‐Sinfonieorchester Stuttgart des SWR & Sir Neville Marriner

Klavierkonzerte No. 17, K.453, and No. 18, K.456 are two piano concertos by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, composed in 1784. They exemplify Mozart's Classical-era piano-concerto style, balancing lyrical solo writing with responsive orchestral dialogue, featuring transparent textures, elegant phrasing and inventive harmonic turns, and they sit in his middle-period output as developments in his approach to concerto form.
First released: 1988
