Mozart: Concertos 21& 24
Label: Mirare Catalog: Format: CD French pianist Jean-Claude Pennetier performs two piano concertos that highlight the authenticity of Mozart's gift perfectly. The tenderness and fire of Piano Concerto No.21 mirrors the anguish and inner intensity of Piano Concerto No.24. Supported by the Orchestre Philharmonique de Radio France under Christoph Poppen, these two pieces are close to perfect and prove, as Francois Mauriac put it, that: ''As long as men inhabit the earth, just a few bars of Mozart can remind us of the paradise we lost, a paradise that may still exist as long as we can hear the echoes of its laughter and tears in such divine music.''
