The Mahler Chamber Orchestra releases a second Mozart Momentum album with Leif Ove Andsnes, presenting a portrait of the master composer during the years in which his writing for the piano was at its most revolutionary, creative and game-changing.
Leif Ove Andsnes and the Mahler Chamber Orchestra follow their “triumphant” (Gramophone), “sparkling” (New York Times) and award-winning Mozart Momentum - 1785 release with its partner album, focusing on the composer’s extraordinary creativity in the year 1786.
“When you realize how quickly Mozart developed during the early years of the 1780s, it makes you ask: why did this happen? What was going on? It’s about the momentum of his creativity at this time,” says Leif Ove Andsnes.
The double-album Mozart Momentum - 1786 includes Mozart’s Piano Concertos Nos. 23 & 24, Piano Quartet in E-flat major, Piano Trio in B-flat major and Recitative and Aria Ch’io mi scordi di te? featuring guest soprano Christiane Karg.
