“Brendel’s 1968 performance of No. 9 is quite outstanding, elegant and beautifully precise…. [The] orchestra is just right… the performance of No. 14 is also first rate… a memorably vivacious finale. Outstanding re-issue with natural sound… clean remastering.” –Penguin Guide “This concerto (K271), described by Brendel as one of the wonders of the world and a vision of everything the classical piano could become, was also a favourite of Busoni. In a recent interview Brendel admitted that he struggled with Mozart in early years but found the key to its interpretation during the Fischer master classes he attended as an 18 year old (playing the K310 Sonata).” –James Murray
