Piano Concertos Nos. 24-27
Alicia de Larrocha (piano) / Chamber Orchestra of Europe & London Philharmonic Orchestra, Sir Georg Solti
[ Decca / 2 CD ]
Release Date: Tuesday 1 February 2011
"it would be a strange person indeed who did not submit to such warm-hearted, unmannered Mozart....Larrocha's pearly toned, lightly pedalled touch and the way she can taper a phrase ending to resemble musical speech (try the opening of K491) make these accounts ones to live with."
(Gramophone)
A special 2-CD set comprising Mozart's late piano concertos in stylish and masterly interpretations from Alicia de Larrocha.
Released as a tribute to the great Spanish pianist Alicia de Larrocha who recorded for Decca for over twenty years from 1969, and who died on 25 September 2009.
Concertos 24 & 26 (recorded in March 1985) receive their first ever release and this has been made possible with the co-operation of both Alicia de Larrocha's family and the estate of Sir Georg Solti.
Concertos 25 & 27 (recorded in December 1977) receive their first international CD release.
