Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756-1791): Concerto for piano and orchestra no. 21 in C major, K 467 – Athens Philharmonia Orchestra
Soloist: Nefeli Mousoura
Musical Director: Miltos Logiadis
I. Allegro 00:00
II. Andante 14:43
III. Allegro vivace assai 22:34
Concerto in C major no. 21, KV 467, written just a few days after its counterpart, known as the Concerto in D minor, no. 20, KV 466, with which it forms a “couplet.” Mozart completed the Concerto in C major no. 21 on March 9, 1785 in Vienna, and performed it for the first time one day later, on March 10, at a private concert organized by the composer. Despite its temporal relevance, however, the C major concerto is quite unique. At first glance, it is characterized by a marked simplicity, naïveté, harmony, and composure, without a clear representation of the personal details of its creator. However, a deeper dive will easily reveal the wealth of melodic ideas and harmonic inspirations, and confirm why this work has established itself among the composer’s most popular.
