Synopsis

Album Description
"But who is Matthias Kirschnereit? On this evidence, he?s a Mozartian who can hold his own with anyone in the catalogue. Exemplary articulation, the subtlest melodic inflection, a wide but never self-indulgent tonal palette, a keen and elegant gift for characterisation?all are present and correct here, beautifully matched by orchestra and conductor." - BBC MUSIC MAGAZINE The piano concertos of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756?1791) stand as a lonely and magnificent peak in the history of music. Every one of his concertos is unique, a foray on unexplored musical territory pressing forward to new understandings of form and content. For this first CD in the recording of Mozart?s complete works for piano and orchestra, Matthias Kirschnereit has chosen compositions which are all related to beginnings in some way. Matthias Kirschnereit is one of the leading German pianists of his generation. His international solo career has taken him to five continents and he has toured the U.S. He has very close links to the Bamberg Symphony Orchestra, with whom he is recording Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart?s collected piano concertos for Arte Nova. Kirschnereit?s fascination with Mozart?s piano concertos dates back to his earliest youth. His first public appearance with an orchestra, at the age of twelve, was with a movement from a Mozart concerto. Many years later! , on a concert tour through various East African states, a Mozart concerto left Kirschnereit with one of his most unforgettable memories, as the audience of mostly young people leapt to their feet with spontaneous ovations after each piano solo.
