Francesco Piemontesi, SCO & Andrew Manze - Mozart: Piano Concertos 19 & 27 - BBC Radio Scotland 'Classics Unwrapped'
My album of the week is an all-Mozart disc featuring two piano concertos played by soloist Francesco Piemontesi. It was recorded in the Usher Hall in Edinburgh - it sounds so gorgeous and so does the piano. It's the delicious playing of Francesco and of course the Scottish Chamber Orchestra are absolutely scintillating to listen to. It'd be hard to find a better wind section anywhere in the world for this sort of repertoire. Piemontesi has been hailed as a stellar Mozartian and his style and touch is perfect, so well blended with Mozart's original intentions.
