Artur
Schnabel made four Mozart Piano Concerto recordings with the London Symphony
Orchestra in the 1930s for HMV. So far we have already remastered the
1934 recording of the 27th Concerto, K595 (PASC005),
and we're delighted now to add to this the 1937 recording of the F
major Concerto, K459.
To
state that I was delighted with the earlier recording is an understatement.
And yet somehow HMV excelled themselves even further just three years
later with this recording. I was very lucky to find a set of immaculate
discs to work from, almost entirely free free from the 'bacon frying'
crackle which typifies most HMV 78s of this era. This was one of those
delightful sessions where the music almost fell off the disc and electronic
intervention could be kept to an absolute minimum.
This
concerto was the last of the six that Mozart wrote in 1784, completed
on 11th December of that year, and his successful performances of this
and the other recently completed concertos during a series of concerts,
given in spring 1785 in Vienna, were to secure Mozart a prosperous future
for the next two years. The recording here includes the cadenza as written
out by Mozart; however the first movement, more usually played now as
an Allegro Vivace, is marked on this recording as a slightly slower Allegro.
And
so I invite you to take a listen to one of the finest recordings of one
of Mozart's masterpieces, which has surely never sounded this good before!
