A collection of Mozart's piano concertos, recorded in 1954, featuring the renowned French pianist Robert Casadesus, the master conductor George Szell, known for his impenetrable leadership skills, and the Columbia Symphony Orchestra.
This historic masterpiece brings to fruition the inner drama and festivity of Mozart at a high level. The simple yet elegant beauty of the performance continues to resonate today.
The recordings include the dramatic tension-filled No. 24 in C minor, K. 491, and the celebratory splendor of No. 26 in D major, K. 537 (Coronation). In No. 24, one of the most profound minor-key works, Casadesus's refined and transparent touch quietly delves into the richly shaded inner life. Meanwhile, in No. 26, he displays a free-flowing sense of song while maintaining grace and clarity, depicting the beauty of classical symmetry with ideal balance.
