EDITORIAL REVIEWS


Amazon.com
Radu Lupu and Murray Perahia should have recorded all of Mozart's piano music for four hands, which includes several neglected masterpieces. This disc reflects their ideal partnership, two artists of great sensitivity collaborating in performances that feature constant interplay of parts, alertness to each other's work, and superb playing as individuals. The Concerto for Two Pianos ripples along without a care in the world, just as it should, and the English Chamber Orchestra doesn't seem to care that nobody is conducting it. The pieces without orchestra are a bit less significant (as is the Concerto for Three Pianos), but the playing is so beautiful you won't care. --Leslie Gerber

Pianistic punctuality by IRate 4 Stars

The memorability factor does recede in relation to the track listing, but remains crisply conceived throughout.

When I first heard this I was introduced to meditation over the ambience of two scented candles. There was so much Zen in the room I took all my clothes off and started running around the house naked. The recording is so nice and Mozart's genius has never once ceased to astound me!

Another great performance by SPDMNMiata (Houston, Texas) 5 Stars

Fabulous music performed by fabulous musicians. Mozart is one of my favorite composers. His music is genius. And Muray Perahia and Radu Lupu are two of the greatest pianists of our time.

Great Mozart by pianoman (new york) 5 Stars
November 20, 2005
This is a very good recording of these pieces. Lupu and Perahia take Mozart seriously and play with energy and lyrical power. The chamber orchestra fits very well into the picture. This is a safe bet for these wonderful pieces.

Mozart: Music for 2 and 3 Pianos by C. Misik (Edmonton, Alberta, Canada) 5 Stars
November 04, 2004
Wow...this is a wondeful recording, plain and simple. If you haven't listened to the Fanatsia in F minor, originally for mechanical organ, then this is the recording to commence doing so with. This is a fantasic rendition of this piece, full of the darkness that must have pervaded Mozart's final years. The finale of the E-flat Concerto K365 is also a one-of-a-kind showpiece with wonderful dialogue between the 2 pianos. Highly recommend this recording as the very best available of the pieces it contains.
