Wilhelm Kempff: Mozart Concerto 24 in C Minor
Piano Concerto #24 in C Minor, K491
| 1. Allegro | |
| 2. Larghetto | |
| 3. Allegretto |
It would not be an exaggeration to say that this recording of Mozart's 24th piano concerto is about the finest ever made. (Mozart wrote only two concerti in a minor key; the other -- his twentieth -- is in D minor, K466.) Ferdinand Leitner conducts the Bamberg Symphony Chorus. This recording was originally released on the Deutsche Grammophone label in 1962. For a Kempff discography, please click here.
