Vassily Primakov:Odense So - Mozart: Piano Concertos Vol 3

The third volume of Vassily Primakov's much acclaimed Mozart Piano Concerto series features two of Mozart's greatest concertos. Scored for a small orchestra without clarinets, trumpets, or drums, the Piano Concerto No. 17 in G major, K. 453 is one of Mozart's most graceful concertos, typically mingling a sense of gaiety with melancholic undertones. Urbane and aristocratic in character, the Piano Concerto No. 22 in E flat, K 482 gains a warm of sound from the orchestra's inclusion of clarinets instead of oboes - the first time Mozart had done so in a concerto. Vassily Primakov plays Mozart's own cadenzas in K. 453 and those of Camille Saint-Saens in K. 482.
