Piano Concerto no. 22 in E flat major KV 482 (Vienna, 1785) Ch’io mio scordi di te? ... Non temer, amato bene KV 505 (Vienna, 1786) - Concert aria for soprano, piano obbligato and orchestra Piano Concerto no. 24 in C minor KV 491 (Vienna, 1786)
Arthur Schoonderwoerd, one of today's most sought-after interpreters on the fortepiano, presents the fifth part of his complete recording of Mozart's piano concertos on the ACCENT label with this release of the two well-loved Piano Concertos, KV 482 and KV 491 (no. 22 and no. 24).
As they have already done on their previous issues, the aim of Schoonderwoerd and his ensemble Cristofori here is to liberate Mozart's works from traditional nineteenth-century sound concepts. Each string part in the orchestra is played by just one performer; the result is a very slender, transparent sound that supports the solo instrument without ever covering it up.
