Mozart: Piano Concerto no.27 in B flat, K.595



Last night I realised that 2 of my listening projects and 1 sort-of-maybe-it-will-be-a-project all lined up on piano concertos. Haydn, Beethoven, Mozart. So I'm ending my night with Mozart's last.

The number of works left in the Köchel catalogue is diminishing. Though there's still 2 entire operas/singspiels in there.

[Papy Oli]

Good morning all,

A First listen to the work.

Mendelssohn - Lobgesang

Christiane Karg, Maria Bernius (sopranos) Werner Güra (tenor) Kammerchor Stuttgart & Deutsche Kammerphilharmonie Bremen, Frieder Bernius

joking aside, this is gorgeous. The soloists's voice are pure honey to those ears. Big tick for that Carus box.

Two CDs for Haydn, three for Beethoven, that's half a week at most. With Mozart things get more time-consuming.

Number 3...




No...

Wait...

That's not it...

There it is...

Boulez: Livre pour quatuor (2017 version, ed. Philippe Manoury)
Quatuor Diotima

[Madiel]

Two CDs for Haydn, three for Beethoven, that's half a week at most. With Mozart things get more time-consuming. 

Not piano concerto projects. Mozart it's the catalogue (let's not check exactly when I started, plus there were backtracks when I went and bought a symphony cycle and a violin sonata cycle). Beethoven it's opus order (I only started in September).

And Haydn... I've got a chronology worksheet that starts around 1779 when the chronology gets a little more solid and when Haydn was first allowed by the Esterhazys to go out and get things published. I feel like I don't have that good a sense of how different genres of Haydn align. I've decided I'm skipping the operas for now, but there's so much else he wrote over the next 20+ years and I think I want to go through it.

It's not completely precise but it does get clearer. Next up will be the last 7 Esterhazy symphonies. Which still aren't numbered sequentially...

CD 1

[Maciek]

Yes, un petit, jazzy bijou! I bought the Turnabout LP, Walter Klien is the soloist.

Wow, that looks like a fantastic record in terms of repertoire! I wasn't aware of Walter Klien (or at least don't remember ever having heard him) and a quick search on Spotify returned something with the exact same Picasso painting as cover, but it's an all-Honegger program (Klien's Concertino recording plus an assortment of piano pieces played by Jürg Von Vintschger). I'll have to give that a listen (though having noticed that Amazon marks the whole thing as "explicit", I am having second thoughts...). Maybe I'll search out the other recordings from the LP too, to try and replicate the compilation. [edit: no such luck with the Klien Janacek recording, but I've managed to find the other two]

Dvorak
Piano Quartet in D major, Op 23

Those who read the Haydn thread last night will not be surprised!

[Selig]

I haven't been able to warm up to this... One more attempt before I return to Kernoa!

[Wanderer]

[Traverso]

Rimsky-korsakoff

Sheherazade

The complete RCA recordings, that isunfortunately not the case, this one is in any case missing



Listening now to this recording.....

[Linz]

Carl Nielsen Pan and Syrinx Op. 49, FS87
Flute Concerto, FS 199, Adam Walker
Symphony No. 3  Op.27FS60:  ' Sinfonia espansiva'
Bergen Philharmonic Orcchestra, Edward Gardner

[Harry]

Dances On Movable Ground.
Dances tunes from the Renaissance and Baroque.
Ensemble Ciaramella, Adam Knight Gilbert & Rotem Gilbert.
See details on the back cover.

A thoroughly enjoyable recording, in terms of the mix of the music, superb sounding authentic instruments, and musicians with the heart in the right place. Together they form a homogeneous ensemble, with a well balanced tone, and a fanaticism in approach to do right by the music. Succeed they do. A undervalued ensemble with an American base, who could easily match what is produced on European shores.
Superb recording. Try it.....

From your post I inferred it's the piano concertos only.

The whole Haydn, Mozart and Beethoven catalogues in chronological order, now that seems to be a lifetime project.

Qobuz suggested I listen to this next. How could I say no?

What I wonder is why you started the quest for the G major at 81? There are six more before it:: 3, 8, 18, 27, 47, 54.

Because I went backwards from the Military! I wonder if it would be fatiguing to listen to all the G majors together...probably so.

No doubt, but if I understood you correctly, you needed only the finales, and only their main theme, actually.
