Casadesus’s Mozart
Posted in Classical on Aug 18th, 2008 No Comments »
Robert Casadesus’s interpretation of Mozart has a particular nobility that seems to me to be of another age. His recordings of the Piano Concertos have a special place in my record collection. I try to explain my reasons here. In the end, though, reasoning won’t do. You just have to listen. Here he is playing the last movement of Piano Concerto No. 27 in B flat major with the Columbia Orchestra conducted by George Szell. It was recorded in 1962.
