About this product
Two years after her recording of Mozart's piano concertos KV 271 and KV 459, Olga Pashchenko returns to the Il Gardellino ensemble for the concertos KV 466 and KV 488. KV 466 is in D minor, a key that Mozart often uses to express the anger of his female characters in his operas. KV 488 was composed a year later in 1786 and is in the luminous key of A major, although without losing any of the theatrical dynamism of KV 466. They represent an almost dramatic, pre-Romantic theatricality for Nicolas Derny, who sees these concertos as the precursors of two of Mozart's greatest masterpieces the Requiem and Le nozze di Figaro. Olga Pashchenko here plays a replica of an Anton Walter fortepiano (ca. 1792) built by Paul McNulty. Album Tracks 1. Piano Concerto No. 20 in D Minor, KV 466~I. Allegro 2. Piano Concerto No. 20 in D Minor, KV 466~II. Romance 3. Piano Concerto No. 20 in D Minor, KV 466~III. Allegro assai 4. Piano Concerto No. 23 in A Major, KV 488~I. Allegro 5.

Inspired by the great Romantic works of the piano trio repertoire, Trio Nebelmeer - named after the emblematic painting by Caspar David Friedrich - embark on a joint exploration of a turmoiled romanticism. Composed ten years apart by two composers with a 20 year age difference, the trios for piano, violin and cello featuring in this album epitomize the quintessence of French Romantic music of the late 19th century.

Olga Pashchenko and Il Gardellino present a third recording of Mozart's piano concertos. Following two volumes (Alpha 726 and 942) that were very well received by the press and the public 'The most exhilarating InchauthenticInch Mozart I have ever heard,' wrote The Spectator. In January 1776, Mozart composed his Piano Concerto No. 6, followed by the Eighth in April. Then aged 20, he did not want to shock the aristocracy of Salzburg and wrote simple music, but music that transports us 'to the calm gentleness of a paradise garden, in the manner of the Elysian Fields evoked by Gluck and Rameau', as Olivier Messiaen said. Completed on 30 September, 1784, Concerto K 465 remains shrouded in mystery as to when it was first performed. It is thought that Mozart premiered it in February 1785 in Vienna in front of his father Leopold, who wrote to his daughter Maria Anna that Wolfgang had triumphed and that the emperor took off his hat and exclaimed 'bravo Mozart!' As with all her recordings, Olga Pashchenko has chosen appropriate instruments, a copy of an Anton Walter fortepiano (ca. 1792) by Paul McNulty and a copy of a Spath & Schmahl tangent piano (Regensburg, 1794) by Chris Maene.

Armenia, the first Christian kingdom, is nowadays a country fighting for it's survival. This disc, recorded both at the Château de Versailles and the Geghard Holy Spear Monastery in Armenia, rekindles the fraternal sentiment between our two peoples and invokes past souls and present ones, such as the virtuoso qanun player Narek Kazazyan, and the beating heart of this programme, in duet with the great cellist Astrig Siranossian and the flautist Helbert Asatryan. By alternating the sacred hymns of the Yerevan Holy Cross Choir with orchestral pieces from the traditional repertoire, it pays the most dazzling tribute to the whole of Armenia, in defence of something that no weapon can ever suppress it's ancestral soul.
