Following Schubert and 3 well-received volumes of Fauré for Mirare, the veteran French pianist Jean-Claude Pennetier, accompanied by the Orchestra of Radio France and Christoph Poppen now turns his hands to Mozart. With these two concertos he finds tenderness and fire in No. 21 which mirrors the anguish and inner intensity of No. 24. The two pieces prove, as Mauriac put it, that: "As long as men inhabit the earth, just a few bars of Mozart can remind us of the paradise we lost, a paradise that may still exist as long as we can hear the echoes of its laughter and tears in such divine music."
"Duval and Hodique's recital doubles as a self-portrait...The acoustic is close and dry…but one doubts Poulenc would have objected, and it suits these playful, salon-scale performances rather well. Duval and Hodique create a world and draw you in." Gramophone
