This happy assembly of pianists and conductors share the honours for these three Mozart concertos, making a welcome return to the Decca catalogue.
‘I can almost see Solti with that inimitably alert and gleeful expression that goes with his making music of this fresh and life-enhancing kind’ [Concerto for 2 Pianos]
‘The finale, a kind of rondo-minuet, is delightful, with energetic keyboard work that nevertheless dances’ [Concerto for 3 Pianos] Gramophone
‘The performances of the two-piano and three-piano concertos sparkle with elegance and vivacity’ Limelight
‘The spontaneous interplay, rhythmic vivacity, and virile fingerwork that Solti, Barenboim and Schiff bring to their collaborations are positively addictive’ ClassicsToday
