Mozart Concertos

Mozart wrote twenty-seven concertos for piano and orchestra. Now recognized as being among his greatest achievements, they are filled with a variety of moods, from the comic-operatic nature of the end of Concerto Number 17,  to the dream-like state of the famous "Elvira Madigan" Andante from Concerto Number 21, to the majestic expansiveness of Concerto Number 25. At least three of these pieces, Concerto Numbers 20, 21 and 23, are among the most recorded and most popular of all classical works.

Mozart's piano concertos have been featured in the soundtracks of several movies, most notably the andante movement of Concerto Number 21, whose extensive use in the 1967 movie Elvira Madigan has resulted in the concerto often being referred to as "Elvira Madigan".

Piano Concerto Number 20, K.466, in D minor, was composed in 1785. A dark and stormy work, it was first performed in Vienna in 1785, with the composer as the soloist.

The music of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756 - 1791) is one of humanity's greatest treasures. Unsurpassed in its abundance of fascinating brilliant ideas and its immense breadth of emotion, it provides boundless joy to listeners and performers.
