Bartók: | Piano Concerto No. 2, BB 101, Sz. 95 Recorded: Royal Festival Hall, London, 5 December 1973 BBC Symphony Orchestra, Pierre Boulez | Mozart: | Piano Concerto No. 16 in D major, K451 Recorded: BBC Studios, 28 November 1968 Piano Concerto No. 17 in G major, K453 Recorded: Royal Festival Hall, London, 9 April 1975 |
Géza Anda (piano) English Chamber Orchestra The highly respected Hungarian pianist Geza Anda (1921-1976) has appeared on BBC Legends once before in a mixed recital including Bartok (BBCL41352) recorded at the 1955 Edinburgh Festival. This programme of broadcasts from the 1970's showcases him in two Mozart concertos and the technically challenging Bartok Piano Concerto No.2. All these works have been recorded in the studio during the early 1960's but here we have three rare broadcasts made a year before his premature death at the age of 55 (the Bartok concert was three years earlier) Anda's recording of the Mozart Concerto K467 was the soundtrack to the award winning film 'Elvira Madigan' and as a result, went onto be an international best seller establishing him as a major interpreter of Mozart. The Bartok Concerto No.2 features Pierre Boulez conducting, one of the great composers and conductors of contemporary music of our time. The stereo CD is 81 minutes long, fantastic value - three piano concertos on one CD. “From the first bar of K451… you know you are in for something special. This is Mozart-playing of a refined order, robust, sparkling and fully in tune with the entertainment character of the work. This live 1973 performance of [Bartók's] No 2 is played at a cracking pace, rich in detail and, in the treacherously difficult outer movements, simply thrilling.” Gramophone Magazine, December 2008 | | | Usually despatched in 2 - 3 working days. |

| |  | Mozart - Piano Concertos Nos. 17 & 20
Norwegian Chamber Orchestra, Leif Ove Andsnes (piano & conductor) “In Leif Ove Andsnes's hands the D minor Concerto K466 is every bit as demonic as it ought to be, and he's greatly helped by fine playing from the Norwegian Chamber Orchestra, with its trumpets cutting through the texture to thrilling effect.” BBC Music Magazine, March 2008 ***** “…his enviably natural, unforced clarity and musicianship shine through every bar and subtle ambiguity. Very much primus inter pares, Andsnes's sense of give and take as both soloist and director of the Norwegian Chamer Orchestra is as remarkable as his unfailing musical grace.” Gramophone Magazine, April 2008 “After this first foray, Mr. Andsnes may get pressure from Mozart lovers to record them all…his stylish accounts of these concertos are among the most revelatory Mozart records of the year.” New York Times | | | Usually despatched in 4 - 5 working days. |

Leif Ove Andsnes (piano) & Dorothea Röschmann (soprano) The Cleveland Orchestra, Franz Welser-Möst Recorded live at the Carnegie Hall, New York, 4 October 2006 “Andsnes gave a typically lovely performance, playing with rippling passagework and, when called for, rhythmic bite, shaping lines sensitively and conveying ennobled sadness in the wistful Andante…Anyone in need of larger scale, more emotionally committed Mozart will have found it here. This was impassioned, full-bodied singing in which Röschmann showed characteristic regard to projecting the text” New York Times | | | Usually despatched in 3 - 4 working days. |
