Claudio Abbado - Mozart: Piano Concertos Nos. 20 & 21/ Friedrich Gulda, pianist - Speaker Corner LP

180-Gram Vinyl • Speakers Corner Reissue

Friedrich Gulda — equally at home in jazz, the Viennese lied and the Viennese Classics — created a sensation with the handful of Mozart concertos he recorded. Even decades on, this account of the Concertos Nos. 20 and 21 ranks among the very finest: the D-minor work joins in with almost somber clarity before leading a tightly enmeshed conversation with the orchestra, while the C-major sparkles with thrilling, virtuoso part-writing. Gulda is partnered by the Vienna Philharmonic under Claudio Abbado. Reissued by Speakers Corner from the Deutsche Grammophon original.
