Mozart:	Piano Concerto No. 17 in G major, K453 - Extract Dame Myra Hess (piano)

London Symphony Orchestra, Sir Malcolm Sargent

Black and white. Performances recorded on film in the 1940s – no specific dates given.

“In the largely pre-TV 1940s the Central Office of Information leavened its government propaganda films with 'improving' cultural subjects, and so preserved images of legendary performers such as Dame Myra Hess, at her morale-raising wartime recitals in the... National Gallery, intense but graceful in Beethoven's Appasionata and a chunk of Mozart concerto. Equally poignant is Dennis Brain... debonairly playing a Beethoven horn sonata... Deservedly famous is The Instruments of the Orchestra, for which Britten created his Purcell variations. Sir Malcolm Sargent introduces the instruments as crisply as he conducts the wartime LSO...” BBC Music Magazine, September 2005 ****

“An absorbing nostalgic trip back to the 1940s; but more than that it is a very good tutorial for newcomers to orchestral music and to the ballet.” MusicWeb International
