Description
Volume 8 of Jean-Efflam Bavouzet's survey of Mozart's piano concertos with Gabor Takacs-Nagy and Manchester Camerata features two late concertos - Nos 26 and 27 - along with the overtures to Cosi fan tutte, Die Zauberflote (The Magic Flute), and La clemenza di Tito. Concerto No. 26, the 'Coronation', was completed in 1788, premiered in Dresden, and then played at the coronation of Leopold II as Holy Roman Emperor, in Frankfurt, on 15 October 1790. As Mozart did not prepare the score for publication, large sections of the left hand were left blank in the manuscript score. It's not known who created the part for the first printed edition, although this has been widely accepted ever since. Jean-Efflam Bavouzet has created his own version for this recording. Mozart premiered his final piano concerto, No. 27, in Vienna on 4 March 1791, in his last public performance. The album was recorded in Manchester's Stoller Hall, Bavouzet playing a Yamaha CFX nine-foot Concert Grand Piano.
