About this album

Pollini and Böhm bring exceptional clarity, balance and lyricism to Mozart’s Piano Concertos K. 488 and K. 459. Recorded with the Vienna Philharmonic in 1976, this pairing highlights two of Mozart’s finest mature concertos: the radiant A major K. 488 and the more buoyant, extrovert C major K. 459. Pollini’s precise touch and elegant phrasing suit Mozart’s transparent writing perfectly, while Böhm shapes the orchestra with classical restraint and warmth. The result is a refined reading that shows why these concertos remain central to the repertoire, admired for their melodic invention, formal poise and expressive depth.
