Wonderful Music From Mozart Mar 22, 2009 I totally enjoyed this CD!!! Here's one more reason why I consider Mozart to be the greatest of all the classical composers. Excellent piano playing by Murray Perahia. Highly recommended!!!

Could not be better.... Dec 23, 2003 This cd was the first meeting with M. Perahia for me...And this was one of the best moment of my life...I am a #1 fan of Mozart...I have heard a lot of performers playing mozart's piano concertos....There were excellent ones but there was always something missing with the Mozart feeling and the way of playing...Perahia was the only person that I've said 'THAT'S IT'!!!!!he gives you the Mozart sound...The sound of the piano is wonderful for Mozart's music...and Perahia knows how to touch the piano.......A key of a piano can't be touched more gently and kind to explain Mozart than Perahia had touched......(I hope I could explain what I wanted to express)... I have decided to buy the whole box set of Mozart's piano concertos played by Perahia after I've listened this performance ....if you want more Mozart get more Perahia or Brendel...but right choice is your choice... Life without music is a big Mistake... M. Can EL

Good but not great... Jun 22, 2001 I found Perahia'a performance excellent, but the orchestral accompaniment is bland. The quality of the recording isn't very high. There's a certain charm in Murray's humming along with the orchestra, and I don't mind hearing the sheets being turned, but he must have worn a bracelet or noisy cufflinks that metallically click and rattle distractingly.

Masterful Mozart May 05, 2001 Murray Perahia's piano playing, like the great Mozart himself, will never go out of style. (Murray's unfortunate hairstyle on the cover, however, is an entirely different matter!) This is because Perahia's refreshingly direct, straightforward style will always be fashionable. Let the others bang away, speed up the tempo or add all their esoteric flourishes, I'll take Perahia's simplicity any day. On this early digital recording from 1983, the pianist again shines on Mozart's second-to-last Piano Concerto, the 26th, nicknamed the "Coronation" since it was written in honor of King Leopold II's momentous event. Also included are two earlier Rondos for Piano and Orchestra, which are performed masterfully as well. The only drawback to this disc, other than it was produced nearly twenty years ago, is it is a bit on the short side lengthwise. Otherwise, it is a terrific recording that will fit nicely in anyone's collection.
