Mozart: Piano Concertos Nos. 6, 8 & 9

Mozart: Piano Concertos Nos. 6, 8 & 9

The phenomenal Angela Hewitt embarks upon another Hyperion journey, this time through the piano concertos of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. The twenty- seven concertos for piano and orchestra contain some of the composer s greatest achievements. Concertos Nos. 6 and 8, two of the young Mozart s earliest attempts at the genre, display a perfection of form and an elegant purity. Concerto No. 9, the Jeunehomme, written in 1777 when Mozart was 21, is considered to be the composer s first great masterpiece. The result of this creative outburst was a monument of musical originality and inventive orchestration. In these interpretations, Hewitt displays her characteristic elegance and innate musicality. She is supported by the impeccably refined playing of the Orchestra da Camera di Mantova and the disc includes a personal and illuminating sleeve note by the pianist.
