MOZART/PERAHIA – PIANO CONCERTOS CD12

Description

The American Murray Perahia, who is one of the greatest pianists of our time, has repeatedly devoted his career to Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, who, alongside Johann Sebastian Bach, is probably one of the most important composers for him.
His most important Mozart recordings include the piano concertos with the English Chamber Orchestra from 1976-88, for which he was also the musical director.

The box also contains the Rondo in D major, K. 382 and the Rondo in A major, K. 386 (both for piano and orchestra).
