"Den netop afdøde dirigent Claudio Abbados sidste Mozart-indspilning er nostalgi i sig selv. Er man også fan af pianisten Martha Argerich, er den sikker ... Abbado er den lysere, endda elegantere, Argerich er den tungere musiker af de to ... Det er stort Mozart-spil, som de to præsterer sammen".

"A Mozartian to cherish. It's hard to fault his sense of line, structure and deft approach to detail ... Yet Piemontesi's polished playing is alert with exactly the kind of spontaneity essential to great Mozart performance. Lithe and without fuss, the Scottish Chamber Orchestra makes clear from the opening bars that this is historically informed Mozart with an updated feel".

"Vurdering: Ugens cd" - "Claudio Abbado og Martha Argerich var livslange venner, men optrådte egentlig ikke så tit sammen ... Abbado fører an som vismanden, afklaret og i fuldendt balance ... Hun er den spontane af de to, og hendes levende og vidunderligt udtryksfulde Mozart-spil er simpelthen en fryd ... Begge værker spilles med et gribende, efterårsagtigt vemod. Abbado og Argerich mødes uden ord med hinanden - og med Mozart. Skønheden er alvorlig. Vi er her for sidste gang".

"Presto disc of the week: Everything that I admired about Piemontesi's previous recording - intelligent, articulate phrasing, tidy passagework and absolute precision in the faster sections - is brought across to these performances ... I constantly marvelled at the flexibility of his left hand, with every semiquaver perfectly in place, performed with crystal clarity. It's such a graceful, clean sound, and never smudgy".

"Piotr Anderszewski will Mozarts Musik von allen Seiten funkeln lassen. Oder wie er es selbst formuliert: so viele Schichten wie möglich freilegen ... Es ist eine Freude, Anderszewski und dem Chamber Orchestra of Europe auf ihrer Forschungsreise zu folgen. Die beiden Konzerte auf der CD sind vom Charakter her völlig unterschiedlich. Das C-Dur-Konzert KV 503 ist ein feierlich-festliches Prunkstück ... Das B-Dur-Konzert KV 595 ... die aber in vielen Momenten eine fast herzzerreissende Traurigkeit ausstrahlt ... Seinen ganzen Feinsinn, seine gesamte eindrucksvolle Anschlagskunst verwendet er darauf, jeder Szenerie ihre ganz spezielle Atmosphäre zu geben".

"Parret optrådte meget sammen som unge, men gled så fra hinanden. At høre deres genforening er en fest i sig selv: Hun med den sædvanlige sans for rytme og dramatisk nerve ved tangenterne. Han lige tilpas diskret som dirigent for sit italiensk baserede miniorkester. Det er så godt alt sammen. Lige dele blidt og bidende. Lige dele sjovt og alvorligt ... Argerich og Abbado er hver for sig og især sammen de bedste udøvere af Mozart overhovedet. Eller rettere: De var det indtil dirigentens død".

"Den sidste cd, de to musikere nåede at indspille sammen i fjor ... Vi får altså den på én gang lyse og majestætiske 25' [klaverkoncer] ... hvorpå de to fantastiske kunstnere og det fortræffelige, håndplukkede Orchestra Mozart fremfører den dramatiske 20'er ... Disse kadencer, Argerich spiller på denne cd, bør man ikke være foruden ... Denne cd er nemlig unik, et monument over den store Abbado ... [og] i mere end én forstand den ultimative med Abbado".

"Man kan godt blive lidt døsig af, at alting skal sættes på plads og formes til perfektion i hver eneste linje, men Abbado og Argerich har et godt Mozart-flow med dynamiske kontraster og smukke kæder af dybfølte udsagn. Alt sammen udstanset i en nobel, letbevægelig fortolkning, der stråler af perfektion".

"Når han tilføjer de første tøvende toner af klaverstemmen fra flyglet, skaber han den perfekte fusion af orkester og solostemme, og herfra og koncerten ud er det bare at nyde polakkens perlende spil og hans gode samarbejde med Det Europæiske Kammerorkester, der i størrelse er et fint Mozart-orkester. Trods Anderszewskis tilbøjlighed til at brumme med som en anden Glenn Gould er der lethed og champagnenydelse frem til sidste takt ... Det er først med den underligt vage orkesterbegyndelse i Mozarts sidste klaverkoncert, B-dur-koncerten nr. 27, der er et af Mozarts mest spillede værker, at opmærksomheden fanges af en ærgerlig ubalance".

"Vurdering: Recording of the month - Vurdering: BBC music choice" - "This is a really fine performance [of K503], with impeccably judged tempos in all three movements, and great playing from the Orchestra Mozart ... Argerich's playing [in K466] is full of both unforced poetry and eloquence, as well as commanding authority where needed ... A splendid disc, and a fitting memorial to Abbado".

"So is this 15001st recording of these works worth the bother? Yes indeed. Under Richard Egarr's direction, the freshness of the music is delightful brought out, with Levin adding his own graceful cadenzas and delicate contributions to the ornamentation. There's no moment when anything sticks out as being provocatively 'original' ... The concert aria 'Ch'io mi scordi di te' ... In it Louise Alder's refined artistry brims with pain and regret".

"Piemontesi's playing is mostly magnificent, with crystalline clarity, radiant tone and eloquent phrasing. In the fine and intriguing cadenzas ... he shines with surety of purpose ... The Scottish Chamber Orchestra sounds cogent and well unified ... The totality of course is not bad, but certain elements can seem bothersome. Your response may be different".

"Francesco Piemontesi hat unauffällig Karriere gemacht ... Dass er ins Spitzenfeld der jungen Pianisten gehört, beweist er jedoch mit dieser neuen Mozart-CD ... Piemontesi artikuliert ungemein klar und differenziert und dialogisiert intensiv mit den Orchestermusikern ... Mit dem unter Andrew Manze historisch informiert spielenden Scottish Chamber Orchestra steht Piemontesi ein erstklassiges Mozart-Orchester zur Seite".

"Two of Mozart's biggest and best-loved concertos ... receive performances here that are in many ways exemplary. Piotr Anderszewski's pianism feels splendidly effortless: there's gorgeous legato, immense clarity and the impression throughout of great care and affection. As for his direction from the keyboard, he gives the music time to breathe, never shying away from a gentle- slow-down - applied with good sense - or a thoughtful manipulation of expressive phrasing".

"Vurdering: IRR outstanding" - "In this recording, however, Argerich surpasses even herself. She is inspired. The shape and colour of each phrase suggested by Abbado and his players evoke the perfectly calibrated response from the piano ... It is impossible not to recognize that all involved were so intent on offering their best that, in the event, they exceeded it ... Could there be a greater gift?".

"Everything is acutely judged, precisely paced and smartly dispatched by McDermott and her Odense accompanists but the sense is of each challenge met, completed and ticked off before the next is addressed ... The familiar Beethoven cadenzas are played, the piano sound is appealing and the annotations are comprehensive. But there are many other recordings that bring these cherished concertos more fully to life".

"Good thing come to those who wait, they say, and at last - three decades on from its inauguration - Robert Levin's survey of Mozart's music for piano and orchestra draws to its conclusion ... Common throughout the series is Levin's exploraty approach to the solo part, going far further than the notes as they appear on the page ... While som may find his incursions over-fussy, they are by and large ear-catching and persuasive ... If Levin's interventionist but period-informed approach is up your street, then this generous and sumptuously presented package is eminently recommendable".

"Editor's choice: His sympathy with the style and ethos of the Salzburger's music simply sings from the speakers. There is intimacy rather than inwardness to these chamber-scale performances; Piemontesi knows he's the star but is sensitive enough to realise that he shares a firmament with the orchestral soloists, despite being ever so slightly spotlit in the miking ... More Mozart from these quarters is eagerly awaited".

"Editor's choice: There are so many moments here that bring a smile to a jaded Mozartian's face: little holdings back, touches of ornamentation, that magical moment in K595's slow movement where the piano's song is shadowed only by flute and violins, exquisitely done here ... Anderszewski's piano is right there in the middle of it, supporting, chattering away in passagework, never once hogging the spotlight".
