Plus Two- and Three-Piano Concertos With Radu Lupu
Each Recording Newly Remastered For This Release
Using Sony’s DSD System & SBM Direct
In separate releases that spanned a decade in the early prime of his career, pianist Murray Perahia recorded all of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s piano concertos, as soloist and conductor from the keyboard, with the English Chamber Orchestra, and now Sony Classical has remastered and collected them all for a new integral edition, released in honor of the 250th anniversary of the composer’s birth. The recordings, both analogue and digital (made between 1975 and 1988), have been remastered for this release using Sony’s Direct Stream Digital (DSD) System and SBM Direct to achieve the best in restored sound. The set will be released on Tuesday, August 22, 2006.
For the first time, this new 12-disc edition includes – in addition to all the solo concertos and the two Rondos – Mozart’s Concerto for Three Pianos and Orchestra No. 7 in F Major, K. 242 (“London“) and the Concerto No. 10 for Two Pianos and Orchestra in E-Flat Major, K. 365. The “London“ Concerto is heard in Mozart’s own arrangement for two pianos, and in both works Perahia is joined by pianist Radu Lupu.
“The Perahia cycle is a remarkable achievement,” The Penguin Guide to Compact Discs & DVDs writes of the cycle’s earlier complete release on CD, awarding it the guide’s ultimate “Rosette” rating, “in terms of poetic insight and musical spontaneity the performances are in a class of their own. There is a wonderful singing line and at the same time a sensuousness that is always tempered by spirituality … This is an indispensable set in every respect.”
