Mozart: Piano Concerto No. 27 | Maria João Pires, Sir John Eliot Gardiner, London Symphony Orchestra

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart wrote his last piano concerto, Piano Concerto No. 27, K. 595, in January of 1791. This nuanced performance by Portuguese pianist Maria João Pires brings out both the melancholic traits and the delicacy of the work. She is accompanied by the London Symphony Orchestra led by the British conductor Sir John Eliot Gardiner on July 5, 2022 at St Luke's Church in London. (00:00) I. Allegro (14:31) II. Larghetto (20:03) III. Rondo, Allegro "All good things take time," as the saying goes. This could also apply to Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's Piano Concerto No. 27 in B-flat major, K. 595. He had already started to work on the first two movements in 1788, but then set it aside. Three years later, in January 1791, he wrote in his private catalogue of works that the concerto had been "completed." Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756–1791), valued artistic autonomy and lived in Vienna as a freelance composer during the last years of his life. Like Ludwig van Beethoven later on, he organized recitals, known as "academies," during which he presented his own new compositions. Subscriptions were available for the concerts, which provided Mozart with a basic income. As a businessman, Mozart may have delayed finishing his Piano Concerto No. 27 to have a better chance of getting funding. From 1788 until 1791, Austria was fighting in the Austro-Turkish war — also known as the Habsburg–Ottoman War — and money for the arts was hard to come by. Mozart's own "academies" were no longer profitable and the composer took out loans to maintain his standard of living. The first mentioned public performance of the piano concerto was in March 1791 at an academy of the clarinetist Joseph Beer. This was Mozart's last piano concerto and his last appearance as a piano soloist. On December 5, 1791, he died of an illness, heavily in debt. The Piano Concerto No. 27 in B flat major begins light-footed and clear. In the second movement, it becomes contemplative and inward facing. In some passages, it almost seems as if the composer's thoughts were somewhere far away. This dreamy effect is highlighted by the sensitive performance of piano soloist Maria João Pires. The rondo theme in the third movement is also the basis for Mozart's well-known song "Die Sehnsucht nach dem Frühling" ("Longing for Spring"), which he wrote shortly after the piano concerto. The song celebrates the flora and fauna of May. Perhaps it represented a glimmer of hope during a period when Mozart pushed the limits of what was possible — until his illness and eventual death. Maria João Pires' international career began began in Brussels in 1970 when she won the international radio competition marking the 200th anniversary of Ludwig van Beethoven's birth. Since then, she has played with many renowned orchestras, such as the Berlin Philharmonic, the Chicago Symphony Orchestra and the London Symphony Orchestra. As a chamber musician, she has recorded all of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's piano sonatas and trios, among other works. British conductor Sir Eliot Gardiner, an early music specialist, is also highly regarded for his interpretations of Mozart. Among other works, he has recorded all 21 of Mozart's piano concertos. He also worked with the London Symphony Orchestra on a major Mendelssohn project. The orchestra was founded in 1904 and is the oldest symphony orchestra in London. © 2022 C Major Entertainment Watch more concerts here:    • LISTEN AND WATCH - your personal concert hall   more famous piano concertos here:    • PIANO CONCERTOS   other great pieces by Mozart here:    • BEST OF MOZART   and pieces of the classical period here:    • THE CLASSICAL PERIOD   Subscribe to DW Classical Music:    / dwclassicalmusic   #Mozart #pianoconcerto #classicalera
