Piano Concertos, K482 & K595 (22 & 27)

"Inventive, lyrical studio recordings full of characteristically revealing Brendelian detail."
- Gramophone June 2001

This is the second major new release celebrating Alfred Brendel's 70th birthday.

"There have been in my career periods where I concentrated particularly on one composer. Not long ago there was an extended Beethoven period, now I feel that I should turn my attention to Mozart…"
Alfred Brendel in the TV documentary Alfred Brendel - Man and Mask
(a Rosetta Pictures production for the BBC and ZDF in Association with ARTE).

Brendel last recorded these two popular Mozart piano concertos in the mid seventies with the Academy of St Martin in the Fields and Sir Neville Marriner. A quarter of a century later he is joined by the Scottish Chamber Orchestra under distinguished Mozartian Sir Charles Mackerras and reveals further insights into these works which are among the most popular of Mozart's 27 piano concerti.
