“The results are as masterly and finished and perfect as the music itself.” — The Telegraph
“A sparking performance.” — The New York Times

In 1785 and 1786, Mozart wrote a series of masterpieces reinventing the nature of the piano concerto. In this period, he began to re-examine the roles of the soloist and orchestra, thus developing aspects of communication and dialogue between the two entities in a way that had not been heard before.
