Mozart: Piano Concerti Nos 1-4, Pasticci / Bilson

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756-1791)
Piano Concertos No.s 1-4 (K37, K39, K40 & K41)
Malcolm Bilson, Forte Piano
Orchestra of the Old Fairfield Academy, Thomas Crawford
Music Masters 01612-67095-2
For those of you familiar with Malcolm Bilson's complete recording of the Mozart Piano Concertos (with John Eliot Gardiner and the English Barorque Soloists on the DG Archiv Produktion Label,) they were not quite complete. The cycle began with his first true concerto (No. 5 in D, K175) but omitted all the pasticci concerti written before that. Mr. Bilson makes ammends by adding the four concertos (numbered 1-4) on this recording completing his canon of 27 Piano Concertos for Piano & Orchestra. More on the Concertos K107 on my next post.
