Mozart: Piano Concertos nos. 21 & 24/ Casadesus, Szell,
By Roberto J Iriarte (Cleveland, OH) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Mozart: Concerto Nos. 21 & 24 (Audio CD)
This is an outstanding reissue by Sony Classical. The rich precise Szell sound is unmatched by any orchestra in any time period and Casadesus intreprets Mozart with grace and wit.

Sparkling,
By "pspa" (Boston, MA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Mozart: Concerto Nos. 21 & 24 (Audio CD)
There are numerous accounts of the famous Elvira Madigan concerto, so called because the second movement is featured in the movie, but this vintage performance is as fine as any, with Casadesus absolutely sparkling at the keyboard and Szell providing crisp, energetic backup. This is one of the sunniest pieces of music ever written, it will brighten up almost any mood, and at bargain price (and including a very fine version of the less well known Concerto No. 24) this is tough to beat.

Classic Mozart From A Classic Triple Combination,
By
This review is from: Mozart: Concerto Nos. 21 & 24 (Audio CD)
Two of Mozart's greatest and most popular piano concertos, Nos. 21 and 24, are combined in this reissue of a classic 1961 recording made by French pianist Robert Casadesus with the Cleveland Orchestra and the legendary if sometimes intemperate conductor George Szell. No. 21 is performed brilliantly by this triple combination; and Casadesus' playing, especially in the concerto's celebrated Andante (the one used in the 1967 Swedish film ELVIRA MADIGAN [hence this concerto's nickname]), is absolutely exquisite.The 24th concerto in C Minor, the only one besides the 20th (in D Minor) to be in a minor key, is one of Mozart's most turbulent works, and uses the largest number of orchestral players of any of the concertos (even trombones are used here). This, however, daunts neither Casadesus nor Szell, as they and the Cleveland Orchestra power themselves through this stormy and dramatic Mozart masterpiece. This recording is very strongly recommended for classical music lovers in general, and Mozart lovers in particular.
