I have the complete set by Malcolm Bilson, and all of the Casadeus/Szell recordings, among others.Chalkperson wrote:OK...then in order...OK...then Complete Sets...Werner wrote:Pick just one? Who can? Agnes is right!
Perahia
Brendel
Uchida
Barenboim
I only posted the Rondo to be oblique (like topogigio) although it's my favourite Mozart composition...

My vote goes for #20!!! What does it say about me that most of my favorite compositions are in the minor key?!?
I really do love almost all of Mozart's Piano Concertos.
I think I tend to listen to the Brendel complete set the most, but I also have Uchida and Barenboim's cycles. The Perahia set is totally way up there on my list of things to acquire, though!

AGNES, you won! I always knew you were a WINNER! Congratulations. Maybe the prize will be a complete set of Mozart's piano concertos! I fell for TopoGigio's "trap" and provided exactly what he asked. You knew better and provided the most obvious response!

Thank you, anasazi, and you other folks who kindly gave me a compliment!--I tooted my own horn, but of course I do not compare my playing to any of the greats. (I do love Uchida's no 9, by the way!) I had posted my renditions of no 17 and no 9, on pianostreet, and if you're interested, here are the links:anasazi wrote:When do we get to hear it Teresa?Teresa B wrote:Piano Concerto no 17, my version!

P.S. Seriously, I like Perahia very much.

Thanks, Kamila! How about recording some Mozart and posting it some time? I notice you chose K449 as a fav--I like that one very much, and played that one 3 years ago. Maria Joao Pires has a nice recording of it.

I have an F major sonata and B flat major sonata and P.C. #19 under my belt, but alas I haven't got much time to do recording right now!

Not that I know of. My father never attended the UW -- he studied conducting in Maine and then piano at Northern Illinois, then taught at Northern Illinois for a while...that's the extent of his college-music life!Agnes Selby wrote:Kamila, has your father studied with Mr. Bela Siki, by any chance?

That sonata in Bb - I've worked on it a bit. Lovely, especially the second movement. And the third movement has a cadenza? It made me wonder if Mozart maybe planned this to be a concerto? I've not seen that many piano sonatas with a cadenza indicated.nadej_baptiste wrote:I have an F major sonata and B flat major sonata and P.C. #19 under my belt, but alas I haven't got much time to do recording right now!

We must all have exquisite taste! The two sonatas I have learned best are the F Major (K332) and B-flat (K333). The B-Flat is interesting--I have been told it was planned to be concerto-like, but I don't know if Mozart planned it originally as a concerto, or he just put it in a concerto-like form for a lark (or a starling ), or something.
