About this album

This Mozart set is a refined showcase for Wilhelm Kempff, whose poised touch and lyrical phrasing bring uncommon warmth to the Piano Concertos No. 23 in A major, K.488, and No. 24 in C minor, K.491. Recorded in the early stereo era with the Bamberger Symphoniker under Ferdinand Leitner, the performances balance elegance with dramatic tension, especially in the darker C minor concerto. Mozart’s late concerto writing here feels both intimate and symphonic, and Kempff’s noble approach highlights its singing lines and classical poise. It remains a fine example of mid-century German Mozart style.
