About

Mozart's piano concerto in E flat KV 271 has long been known as the 'Jeunehomme' -- but it was discovered in 2004 that it was actually composed for Louise Victoire Jenamy; Mozart misspelled her name as 'jenomy' in a letter to his father in 1778 and so created a misunderstanding that lasted for over two centuries. Mozart composed his piano concerto KV 414 in Vienna in 1783; Evren Ozel, the soloist in these two works, says that this work "is more carefree and allows the performers to explore a gentler and more tender side of Mozart". It was only two years after his first violin concerto that Mozart - then 19 years old and concertmaster to the Prince-Archbishop of Salzburg -- composed his second, KV 211; two more followed within the year. "The art of performing Mozart's music is to play it with simplicity and life while remaining true to the Classical style", says Jan Mracek, the second soloist on this, the twelfth volume in the Next Generation Mozart Soloists series conducted by Howard Griffiths.

September 2025

Ozel's lucid pianism and rhythmic acuity vouchsafes a dazzling account of [the 'Jeunehomme'], inviting comparison with those by Mozartians of the stature of Murray Perahia, Mitsuko Uchida and, of course, Brendel.

August 2025

Ozel will be granted a more focused showcase on the Platoon album that comes as part of his Cliburn prize but, for now, his Mozart is a tantalising taste of what he might offer in ideal circumstances in the later, more mature concertos.
