Mozart | Piano Concertos 24-27


Alicia de Larrocha maintained a fine repute for her chastity and taste in performance, her relatively small stature and small hands having been surmounted by a big imagination and a lifetime of stretching exercises. Her penchant for the clear, plastic line made her a natural Mozart exponent, and in these four virtuoso concertos none so well accommodates her fluency and rhythmic vitality as the under-rated "Coronation" Concerto in D Major . . . we have a set that bears repeated musical scrutiny for profoundly aerial pleasures, intellectual and emotional. -- Gary Lemco, Audiophile Audition
