Mozarteumorchester Salzburg - Piano Concertos No. 18 KV 456 & No. 21 KV 467 - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Bravo Mozart! Exclaimed Emperor Joseph II as he stood up and tipped his hat at the end of the first performance of Piano Concerto No. 18 KV 456, played by Mozart himself on 30 September 1784. Less than a year later, the composer pens his iconic 21st concerto, which is performed here by the Mozarteumorchester Salzburg conducted by Howard Griffiths, and pianist Jonathan Fournel. Winner of the prestigious Queen Elisabeth Competition in 2021, the French pianist has already made a Brahms recording for Alpha (ALPHA851). At the age of 30, he is developing a highly promising career, impressing audiences at every one of his concerts. Album Tracks 1. Piano Concerto No. 18 in B Flat Major, KV 456~Allegro Vivace 2.
