About This Item
Academy of Ancient Music (AAM) resumes a celebrated project to record Mozart's complete Piano Concertos, with this ninth volume released after an extraordinary 20-year wait. Together with renowned scholar-pianist Robert Levin, AAM presents Mozart's Piano Concertos No. 21 in C Major K467, perhaps one of Mozart's most well-known Piano Concertos and featured in films The Spy Who Loved Me and Elvira Madigan, and No. 24 in C Minor K491, described by Mozart scholar Alexander Hyatt King as 'not only the most sublime of the whole series but also one of the greatest pianoforte concertos ever composed'. AAM's founder Christopher Hogwood and Robert Levin came together in 1993 to record Mozart's complete works for keyboard and orchestra for the first time ever on period instruments. Only eight albums out of a total of 13 were recorded, with the most recent released in 2001. This marks the renewal of this landmark project and will be followed by the four final albums of the series later in 2023 and 2024.
