Curzon Plays Mozart & Schubert

"Clifford Curzon (piano), London Philharmonic Orchestra, Sir Adrian Boult"

"MOZART, W.: Piano Concerto No.27 "

"The performance of the Impromptus, D.899, heard here, confirms Clifford Curzon's place as one of the great Schubert players of his generation. Indeed, the audience was so impressed that they couldn't help applauding between each Impromptu. Not only does Curzon manage to play with a range of emotion, from limpid tenderness to controlled aggression, but his attention to the sound he produces from the piano never fails to impress. One of the highlights of the 1961 Edinburgh Festival was Curzon's performance of Mozart's last Piano Concerto, K.595 in B flat; he later traveled to London to perform the work again at the Proms and it is this performance that is heard on this CD. Curzon is supported by the London Philharmonic Orchestra with Sir Adrian Boult, who had not appeared at the Proms since 1958. "
