John's CD of the Week: Helene Grimaud – Mozart
John Suchet's CD of the Week marks two firsts for French pianist Helene Grimaud: her first live concert recording for the Deutsche Grammophon label, and her first ever Mozart concerto recording.
She performs Nos. 19 and 23 – the second of which she describes as “probably the most sublime concerto Mozart ever wrote, with a slow movement that is an extremely deep and painful expression of longing, where you find the real Mozart”. No.19, meanwhile, is “pure pianistic pleasure”.
Grimaud is joined by the Bavarian Radio Chamber Orchestra; join John Suchet every morning, just after 10, to enjoy music from this, our CD of the Week.
