"The result is joyful, probing and vivacious in the early Jeunehomme in E flat major, K271 and in the grand C major, K467, both of which have famously tender, poetic slow movements. The ensemble between Uchida and the Cleveland is cleanly articulated but always full of wonder and curiosity".

" The Piano Concerto No. 9 in E flat major, "Jeunehomme," and the Piano Concerto No. 21 in C major (nicknamed "Elvira Madigan" after the Swedish film) are among Mozart's most popular piano concertos, so newcomers to his music would do well to give this disc a try, while connoisseurs will acquire it as a matter of course".

"Albummet, som Lars Vogt ikke selv nåede at høre, inden han døde i september 2022 ... Fordi Vogt kendte sine franske musikere godt, fungerer det hele smukt på et album, der umiddelbart kunne ligne endnu et album med Mozartkoncerter. Men som (...) er en velkommen chance for at sige farvel og samtidig fortsat lytte til en musiker, der virkelig kunne gøre klavermusikken levende og nærværende".

"Mozart gjorde det selv, og Mitsuko Uchida tager også gerne dobbeltrollen som solist og dirigent på sig ... Men den perfekte afstemning i forhold til det melodiske skelet skærmer ærgerligt nok for en god del af det indre liv, der gør Mozarts musik så livsbekræftende. Med sit klare, smukke anslag viser Uchida imidlertid også, at det er de skønneste melodilinjer, hun får ud af Mozarts rigt facetterede fraser".

"Hendes klaverspil er ikke bare brillant. Det er klangligt nærmest svævende. Fortolkningsmæssigt så gennemnysgerrigt ... Der er steder, hvor orkestret på Mitsuko Uchidas indspilning ville have haft godt af en dirigent til at samle indsatserne ... Men fortolkningerne er overlegne ... En usædvanlig spændende plade med raffineret, hele tiden levende indhold fra en moden Mozartfortolker".

"Kosuges "Jeunehomme"-Konzert lässt schon bei der ungestümen Eingangsfloskel aufhorchen, nachdem das NDR-Sinfonieorchester unter dem aufmerksamen Lawrence Foster das dreiklang-Signal exakt, nicht zu rasch, formuliert hat ... Yo Kosuge spielt auch das C-Dur-Konzert mit geistiger Überlegenheit, glasklar in der Diktion - rhytmisch sehr sicher, ohne dass die Poesie des melodischen geopfert wird".

"On their own terms, these accounts ... are of superlative high quality ... Alexandre Tharaud himself dominates with comprehensive keyboard mastery, producing ravishing colouristic delicacies and exhibiting a nimbleness and flexibility of phrasing that has one listening to these much-recorded works with fresh ears".

"Vurdering: Empfehlungen des Monats" - "Hervorragend zu diesem Ensemble aus Mozart-Werken gesellt sich als krönender Abschluss Haydns chevaleresk-elegant musiziertes D-Dur-Konzert. Fazit: noch eine Aufnahme mehr für die einsame Insel".

"L'opus 3 atteste la pertinence de l'entreprise avec évidence: servant les titres les plus forts de la série par la réalisation la plus aboutie, il est, en tous points, achèvement".

"Concerto choice: Vogt's ensemble with his attentive orchestra is close-knit, while at the piano there's not a hint of compromise, nor need for any. He sounds on top form, with his typically vivid articulation and sparkling touch, while his generously lyrical phrasing incorporates unfailing attention to detail".

"Es-dur koncerten ... er Mozarts første klaverkoncert i stort format, hvor orkestret udnyttes symfonisk, hvilket giver uanede muligheder for at skabe spændende konstellationer til solisten både dynamisk og klangligt. Disse muligheder griber Vogt i et tæt sammenspil med orkestret ... Der er noget nysgerrigt, undersøgende i hans spil, som passer godt til koncertens ungdommelige karakter ... En helt anden tyngde præger c-mol koncerten, nr. 24 ... som Lars Vogt tager op med sans for både de stormfulde højder og inderlige dybder ... En værdig markering af en stor pianist med en unik analytisk indsigt og et musikalsk hjerte på rette sted".

"Die langjährige Zusammenarbeit zwischen dem Freiburger Barockorchester und Kristian Bezuidenhout zeigt in ihren stimmigen künstlerischen Resultaten, wie stark Ensemble und Solist miteinander verbunden sind ... Vom grossen architektonischen Bogen über die Balancierung swischen den weich tönenden Bläsern und den kühl glitzernden Streichern bis hin zu dem feinnervig artikulierten Solopart gibt es viel zu bewundern".

"Continuing his survey of the Mozart concertos with his regular collaborators, the Freiburger Barockorchester, Kristian Bezuidenhout ... offers a marvellously expressive account, He creates an effortlessly flexible canvas that has the space to breathe, while drawing out the music's often conversational character with warmth, humour and grace ... The fortepiano balances effortlessly with the period instruments, which are expertly wielded".

"This would be a commanding disc from a pianist of any age, but coming as it does from a mere 23-year old it is especially impressive ... Nothing sounds forced or affected, and although these performances employ modern instruments, they boast the bite and clarity that one ordinarily associates with "period" practices ... In short, this release may well be a harbinger of a splendid career that lies ahead for this young and clearly talented artist".

"Throughout these performances he proves to be a supreme technician and deeply sensitive musician. Moreover, he is given wholehearted support by Leppard who is in complete control of orchestral texture and instrumental balance, reticent, spongy timpani notwithstanding. But the lopsided presentation disturbs concentration and takes the edge off absorbing interpretations that complement the ones by Alfred Brendel and Charles Mackerras. Readers who are not bothered by the flaws in this new recording might care to have both discs".

"Her [DiDonato] impeccable intonation no matter how decorative the passagework, her effortless agility in all registers and her genius for word-painting (together with Tharaud's vibrant and eloquently shaded piano obligato) are worth the price of this disc".

"One might argue that with so many fine versions of these two concertos available, new ones are hardly necessary. But the taste, individuality and prevailing stylishness of the readings here make a fine case for this release".

"Vurdering: IRR outstanding" - "For the first time in my experience on disc, Gergiev and the LSO have concinced me that every bar in this work is essential to the Symphony's life, a true living organism in music that had med breathless with excitement at its close. No one can afford to ignore this record".

"Editor's choice: It has to be said that, leaving the poignancy aside, the musical results speak for themselves and offer an illuminating last word to add to the extraordinary set of Schubert chamber works that Vogt made with the Tetzlaff siblings ... His credentials as an outstanding chamber musician are everywhere apparent, and there's some particularly delectable play with the winds ... Lars Vogt left behind only a handful of Mozart concertos, making this all the more precious".

"Vurdering: IRR outstanding" - "Uchida has decided to revisit some of these concertos ... and the third, the present disc, is in every way a worthy successor. It gets the highest marks in terms of orchestral refinement, balances of individual parts, pacing, spontaneity and sheer loveliness and vitality ... This instalment is a real winner".

"While these performances don't necessarily eclipse her earlier ones, Uchida remains one of the most thoughtful and poetic of Mozartians, with a fastidious control of sound second to none".

"Bezuidenhout once again demonstrates the benefit of his long association with Mozart's music in performances that honour the spirit of each work while not sticking slavishly to the letter of the score, tugging gently at pulse and ornamenting freely and generously".
