Mozart: Piano Concerto... - Mishka Rushdie Momen - Audio CD (Arrives in 50 days)

This new volume in the ‘Next Generation Mozart Soloists’ series features Mozart’s very first piano concerto (K. 37), composed when he was just 11 years old, and his very last, the Concerto K. 595, finished on 5 January 1791, exactly 11 months before his death. 'The combination of the naive and youthful first concerto with the mature last concerto and its reflection of how much Bach’s music had affected him shows just how extraordinarily his brilliant mind had developed', says pianist Mishka Rushdie Momen, who performs them under the baton of Howard Griffiths. She studied with Joan Havill, Imogen Cooper, Richard Goode and András Schiff at the Kronberg Academy. Blaž Šparovec, principal clarinettist of the Gürzenich Orchestra in Cologne, takes on one of Mozart’s very last works, the famous Clarinet Concerto K. 622, “a concerto that can only be compared to an opera in which the basset clarinet plays all the roles”, says Šparovec.
