Géza Anda (piano & conductor) / Camerata Academica Salzburg (LP)
Marking Géza Anda’s centenary in November, his recording of Mozart’s Piano Concertos Nos. 21 and 17 from 1968 is reissued on vinyl with the original artwork.
Mozart’s Piano Concerto No. 21 was completed just four weeks after the completion of his dramatic Piano Concerto No. 20, and is one of his best-known and technically demanding concertos. The famous
‘Andante’ was featured in the 1967 Swedish film “Elvira Madigan” and, as a result, the work became widely known as the Elvira Madigan Concerto.
“In the hands of that sublime Mozartian Géza Anda directing from the keyboard the orchestra of the composer's birthplace [the Mozart Piano Concertos are] very fine … for he clearly loves the
music. […] material for a desert island sojourn” MUSICWEB INTERNATIONAL
