Paul Badura-Skoda plays Mozart's own piano! |
Smaller, with a lighter action sensitive to every micro-detail, the piano was a very different
instrument
during Mozart's lifetime (1756-1791).
These outstanding recordings were performed on the very piano Mozart concertized on. Listen for yourself!

The "Recordare" treats the listener (and tests the soloist) with intricately woven suspensions, warm, close harmonies and melodic material that has "comforting" written all over it. This movementgains immeasurably from the clarity afforded by a historically informed approach. |
