Manze Piemontesi Scottish Chamber Orchestra Piano Concertos 19 & 27 - CD Album

This is the eagerly awaited follow-up to Francesco Piemontesi's summer 2017 release, Mozart Piano Concertos Nos. 25 & 26. This recording finds the 'dream team' of Piemontesi, Andrew Manze and the Scottish Chamber Orchestra back together for two further concertos: the graceful and sunny Piano Concerto No. 19 in F major and the mellow and magnificent Piano Concerto No. 27 in B flat major, which was Mozart's last. When Piemontesi performed No. 27 at the 2018 BBC Proms, The Independent commented: 'Piemontesi gave a definitive performance... his sound was gloriously transparent throughout'. This well-established team garnered multiple accolades for their debut recording together which increases the weight of expectation for this new recording. In addition the orchestra has recorded the Rondo in A major, K. 386, which only survived in the form of a piano arrangement by Cipriani Potter. Widely considered one of the world's greatest Mozart orchestras, the SCO finds an ideal foil in the freshness and spontaneity of Piemontesi's playing.
