Goldstein/Fine Arts Quartet - Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (arr. Lachner): Piano Concertos Nos. 23 and 24

Mozart himself saw the advantages of creating more accessible versions of his concertos in reduced instrumentation. Ignaz Lachner followed common 19th-century practice by leaving the piano parts of these concertos intact and making splendid transcriptions of the orchestra parts using only a string quartet with added bass. K. 488 and K. 491 are two of Mozart�s greatest and most popular piano concertos. These chamber versions throw an intense and intimate new light on familiar music.
