Wonderful Mozart playing, March 27, 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: The Classic Sound - Mozart: Piano Concertos 23 & 24 / Curzon (Audio CD)
The 23rd and 24th piano concertos are among the very best Mozart wrote, and Curzon gives them loving performances, elegant, stylish, and expressive within the classical context. Those who like the leaner, "authenticist" approach may find Curzon's style rather old-fashioned, but it's none the worse for that--this is Mozart playing of insight, eloquence, and style. The recorded sound is outstanding, with an ideal balance between piano and orchestra. However, I would suggest holding out for Decca's Legends release (already available on several other websites and overseas) of those concertos, on 2 CDs and including--in addition to these recordings of 23 and 24--20, 26, and 27. Curzon's recordings of 20 and 27 in particular are classics and well worth acquiring.
