Leon Fleisher (piano) Stuttgart Chamber Orchestra A fixture on the music scene for more than six decades, pianist Leon Fleisher releases his first two-hand concerto recording in 40 years. The new recording is comprised of a trio of Mozart concertos recorded with the Stuttgart Chamber Orchestra: no. 23 in A Major, K. 488; no. 12 in A Major, K. 414; and no. 7 in F Major for two pianos, K. 242, for which he is joined by his wife Katherine Jacobson-Fleisher. Founded in 1945, the Stuttgart Chamber Orchestra has held a top position in the international orchestral world for more than 60 years. Under founder and director Karl Mnchinger, the ensemble had developed and cultivated the repertoire of the Viennese Classicists. “Leon Fleisher…brings all his customary musicianship and wisdom to bear on all three concertos here. …Fleisher's shaping of the slow movements is quite beautiful, with that of K414 rendered with greater than usual weight. There's also plenty to applaud in the orchestral playing, notably from the winds.” Gramophone Magazine, August 2009 “These new 'live' Mozart performances may not be the most elegant you'll ever hear, but they are shot through with wisdom and insight. Fleisher's eloquently poetic account of the melancholy Adagio from the A major Concerto, K488… is worth the price of admission on its own.” BBC Music Magazine, August 2009 **** “This recording bubbles like a glass of champagne, which is fitting celebration for Leon Fleisher's return to full keyboard performance after illness rendered his right hand immobile 40 years ago.” The Observer, 9th August 2009 | | | In stock - usually despatched within 1 working day. |
