Description:

Mozart was at his consistent best in the piano concertos, in which he successfully combined elements of virtuosity and depth, chamber music and symphonic style, and regard for both his public audience and his personal expression. Pianist Walter Klien recorded all of Mozart's works for piano, together with those by Brahms and many works of other important composers. This recording was made in 1978 by the famous production team of Joanna Nickrenz and Marc Aubort for the appropriately named Elite Recordings series. The GRAMMY category of â??Producer of the Year, Classicalâ?? was introduced in 1979 and Joanna Nickrenz was the first woman to receive a nomination for the award. During her long career she received eight â??Producer of the Year, Classicalâ?? nominations and won the distinction twice. In 1983, she shared the win with Marc Aubort. In 1996, she was the sole recipient. Since that time, many of their projects have achieved collector status, especially their recordings of American orchestras. For this re-issue the original analogue tapes have been carefully restored and transferred before being subsequently re-mastered. - .. NOS. 17 & 27

The piano concerto was the category in which Mozart most consistently excelled, in which he most successfully combined elements of virtuosity and depth, of chamber music and symphonic style, of regard for his public and for personal expression. No. 17 is one of six piano concertos he composed in 1784, two of them, including this one, for one of the most talented of his own pupils, Barbara Ployer. Scored for the same instrumentation as No. 17, No. 27 was his last piano concerto. It stands alone, because it's content and character make it unique and it is deeply personal, having a feeling of subdued gravity. Pianist Walter Klien studied with Arturo Benedetti Michelangeli and Paul Hindemith and performed with the world's top orchestras. The present recording has been realized in 1978 by the famous production team of Joanna Nickrenz and Marc Aubort from the appopriately named "Elite Recordings". Many of their projects have achieved meanwhile collector status, especially those with American orchestras.
