Mozart Piano Concertos

In their performances of two of Mozart’s greatest late piano concertos, soloist Jeremy Denk and the 29 players of The Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra strike the perfect balance between intimacy and symphonic grandeur. Oscillating between major and minor keys, the opening to *Piano Concerto No. 25* is one of Mozart’s richest concerto movements, embracing an extraordinary range of moods, from fragility and melancholy to sprightly humor and operatic drama. Denk’s piano touch is alive to each and every one, as it is throughout this remarkable recording: He brings a beautiful fluidity to *No. 25*’s final movement while his tone adopts a dark richness in all three movements of the Don Giovanni-esque *No. 20*. The Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra is the perfect partner to Denk’s incredible artistry.
