Get a taste of Vienna when native son Manfred Honeck conducts two masterworks from the Imperial City. It was 1781 when Mozart defied his father and relocated to Vienna, a place that today boasts of being “the capital of classical music.” For Mozart, the locals proved to be an eager audience, dazzled by his singular skills at the piano. Mozart’s Piano Concerto No. 22 plays like a theater piece, pitting the grandeur of the orchestra against the nuanced personality of the solo piano—in these performances, singularly tackled by superb Norwegian pianist Leif Ove Andsnes.
The second episode of our “Mozart Momentum Series” with pianist Leif Ove Andsnes.
During Mozart’s life-changing momentum of 1785/86, he began to re-examine the roles of the soloist and orchestra. With his redesign of the piano concertos, he left his mark on many following generations of composers. Watch more episodes of Leif Ove Andsnes’ Mozart Momentum Series here: https://bit.ly/2SlpCg8

“Musically, I will be championing the music of Sibelius this year. I’m really passionate about his piano music, which is so beautiful and haunting. How can there be a major composer out there with such accessible music that people don’t know. The fact that many will be hearing it for the first time, that’s a wonderful feeling. I’m on a real mission with this!” – Leif Ove Andsnes
