About
Vienna – once the music hub of Europe – attracted all the greatest composers of its day, among them Beethoven, Schubert and Mozart. This concert with Sir András Schiff and the Capella Andrea Barca from the Salzburg Mozart Week brings together three works by these great composers, all created at the start of their impressive Viennese careers. About Beethoven’s First Piano Concerto the Salzburg press wrote admiringly: “Sensitively supported by the rich and supple tone of the strings, Schiff’s pianistic virtuosity explores the length and breadth of Beethoven’s early work, from the opulent to the playful, with a palpable delight rarely found in such measure in a pianist”, while in Mozart’s Piano Concerto No. 22 “Schiff demonstrates his skill in pianistic interpretation and in conducting, nuanced, passionate, a sensitive revelation”.

Awards and reviews
September 2016
This is not Beethoven the nascent revolutionary, angrily tearing up the keyboard, but Beethoven the classicist…the slow movement of K482 is a highlight, with some particularly rapt playing from pianist and orchestra alike. In between comes Schubert’s vernal Fifth Symphony, conducted from memory and clearly with affection, although without undue lingering
September 2016
Andras Schiff’s reputation is solidly based on impeccable gentilite and sterling musicianship, qualities which certainly come across here
Music Week October 2016
Beautifully moulded performances by all concerned and well recorded, but buy the Blu-ray if you can.
