Mozart / Michelangeli- Piano Concertos No. 15, K.450 & No. 20, K.466 (CD)
Arturo Benedetti Michelangeli's piano playing is highly praised for it's tremendous reflectiveness. He could spend decades immersing himself in a piece in order to get to know it inside out. His art of touch, his wealth of overtones and his highly refined sense of sound are just as praiseworthy - qualities that came in especially useful for playing Chopin and Debussy. Michelangeli is, however, less known as a Mozart interpreter which makes these 1956 recordings with the orchestra of Süddeutscher Rundfunk conducted by Anton von Bavier so fascinating. Here, Michelangeli presents a life-affirming, even vigorous Mozart with almost Olympian pride. His manner of playing is always forward-pushing, at times boisterously passionate. In his interpretation there is no exaggerated sensitivity, no fiddling with sound, no over-reflectiveness and, in particular, no sentimentality in the slow movements.
Tracklist:
- I. Allegro [10:05]
- II. Andante [05:17]
- III. Allegro [07:55]
- I. Allegro [13:39]
- II. Romance [09:00]
- III. Rondo: Allegro Assai [07:14]
