Ronald Brautigam has been described as 'an absolutely instinctive Mozartian… with melodic playing of consummate beauty' (International Record Review), supported by the period orchestra Die Kölner Akademie in a partnership which more than one reviewer has termed 'ideal'.
"Brautigam's playing in this sadly undervalued concerto is faultless throughout, and the finale - a real contrapuntal tour de force - is dazzling...these are fine performances, but without always plumbing the music's depths." (BBC Music)
"while I wouldn't always want to hear it like this, Brautigam's performance is certainly refreshing...swiftness is a feature of all the performances here. Rarely have I heard the opening Allegro of K459 so airy and puckish." (Gramophone)
