Mozart Piano Concertos with Piotr Anderszewski
Piotr Anderszewski recorded the pairing of Mozart’s Piano Concertos Nos 25 and 27 with the COE in the summer of 2017 following a series of concerts in which he directed the Orchestra from the keyboard. The album is now shortlisted for a Gramophone Award in the ‘concerto’ category and was already selected by the German circle of music critics in their second ‘Bestenliste‘ of this year. The recording continues receiving further critical acclaim in the press:
“The playing of the COE is beyond reproach, as is the profound sense of collaboration between players and soloist throughout.” – Limelight Magazine
“It is the intimacy of [Anderszewski’s] rapport with the (sadly uncredited) wind soloists of the COE that makes this issue so special. His pristine finger work is always at the service of the score in continuous dialogue with the orchestral musicians, but he brings personal touches to these frequently recorded pieces. […] One listens with refreshed ears to this familiar music.” – The Sunday Times (£)
