Here is the eagerly anticipated follow-up to Maurizio Pollini s acclaimed 2006 recording of Mozart s Piano Concertos in G, K. 453 and in C, K. 467, in which he not only plays but directs the nonpareil Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra. About that recording, The Times [London] stated: You hear a man in love...he plays Mozart with real feeling, leading us into the music s depth, its inner melodies, never content with the surface...the music always moves forward, developing, growing, with the subtlest range of colours...These are performances of conversational intimacy. When one is in love, one can never get enough, so Pollini has done it again: in summer 2007 he and the Vienna Philharmonic recorded the early, cheerful Piano Concerto in A, K. 414 and the famous C minor Concerto, K. 491, a mature work of brooding pathos. Once again, Pollini and the Vienna Philharmonic work without a conductor, in front of a live audience in Vienna s famous Musikverein, parlaying their deep mutual understanding and respect into one of the noblest and most profound Mozart experiences imaginable.
