Stay right where you are Sergei

(5 out of 5 stars)

"I am a Mozart connoisseur, and overall love Classical. This is actually one of the best recordings I've heard of nos. 20 and 21 piano concertos. Uruvayev plays wonderfully. He shows the sensitivity that Mozart deserves. Most just run through profound thematic statements and luxurious melodies. Delarocha does not. Andras Schiff does not either. When Mozart is played too fast, it distort his simplistic yet complicated arrangements. You feel like you are being rushed. Mozart is simultaneously cerebral and heart-felt, and performers should play him with the care as if they were playing someone like Tchaikovsky or Rachmaninoff. Please don't misunderstand, I am not saying play Mozart like Tchaikovsky or Rachmaninoff, but there has to be an inherent receptiveness to make the feeling of the music carried out and conveyed to the listener. I am sure that this is what Mozart truly intended or he wouldn't have written the sweet melodies dramatic themes in the first place. On the other hand, yes you can play Mozart too slow. Ofcourse, the music should not drag. Here, Titov and Uruvayev do not slow drag. In fact, they play marvelously, with care and honesty to the playful and melancholy sounds of Mozart."

Glorious!

"This disc offers triumphant performances of two of Mozart's most famous concertos by a very talented Russian pianist and orchestra. These works were written by Mozart during his "impresario" period when he achieved unprecedented success as both a performer and composer in Vienna during the mid-1780s. While the opening movement of no 20 is rather ominous in its tone, the romance movement that follows is one of the more lovely Mozart ever wrote. The 21st concerto begins much more confidently and optimistically, with the flute and horns playing a prominent role. This incredibly cheap disc may not be the best recording of these 18th century masterworks available, but it still offers an excellent listening experience for all who love Mozart."
