The Budapest Strings Chamber Orchestra Presented by Liszt Academy

Mozart completed the Piano Concerto in E-flat major on 9 February 1784, and barely a month later he was applauded in Vienna as soloist in the Concerto in B-flat major. Mozart himself considered the latter a complex work not easy to play, and modern pianists also rank it as among the most difficult Mozart concertos. Naturally, the audience will sense nothing whatsoever of this since both compositions are performed by a true aficionado of Mozart music in Dezső Ránki. We get to enjoy the two concertos in the company of a pair of rarely played pieces. Budapest Strings perform an early Mozart symphony with an Italian inspiration and a chamber music variation of the Michael Haydn string quintet. For many years this piece was mistakenly attributed to Joseph Haydn because of its stylistic traits.
