Listen to MOZART. Post Scriptum
The pianist and producer Sergei Kvitko brings us some very detailed Mozart interpretations here, where the Madrid Soloists Chamber Orchestra, lead by the conductor Tigran Shiganyan, helps these classics live again with distinct orchestration, ornamentation and articulation.
“Rondo for Piano and Orchestra in D major, K. 382” starts the listen with the bouncy strings flowing alongside Kvitko’s swift and playful keys, and “Rondo for Piano and Orchestra in D major, K. 382” follows with a meticulous attention to detail where the strings and piano weave in and out of exciting, unpredictable textures.
“Concerto for Piano and Orchestra No. 20 in D minor, K. 466” rounds out the listen and unfolds in 3 chapters that displays majestic, firm dynamics as well as soft, intimate moments, where the beauty and poise are only matched by the timelessness of the entire effort.
Mozart’s brilliance is certainly captured very well here, as Kvitko’s very capable hands and the orchestra’s skilled players make for a classical listening experience you won’t soon forget.
