Mahler Chamber Orchestra / Leif Ove Andsnes

Viennese creative frenzy

Mozart was always an industrious and innovative composer. But he really upped the ante in the years 1785–86, taking the piano concerto form in particular to new heights. In them, the soloist and the orchestra conduct a dialogue on an equal footing – an approach Beethoven and his successors would later take as their model. Leif Ove Andsnes and the Mahler Chamber Orchestra now enter into that balanced partnership of equals once again in their joint project »Mozart Momentum 1785/1786«.
