Piano Concerto No. 12 in A Major, K.414
01. 1. Allegro
02. 2. Andante
03. 3. Rondeau (Allegretto)

Piano Concerto No. 24 in C minor, K. 491
04. 1. (Allegro)
05. 2. Larghetto
06. 3. (Allegretto)

Pollini the pianist – too forward in both concertos – retains his formidable control of the instrument as he shows his artistry in the voicing of chords, balance between hands and a singing line in the slow movements.

Pollini’s sound is thrillingly clean and pure, with an edge and life to it that counterbalances the solid performance that he encourages from the Vienna Philharmonic, directing from the piano. The A Major’s delightful opening movement is fresh and refined, as he gradually reveals more complex, exciting depths. The C Minor is a dark and fine contrast, its big, troubled opening given anguished, storm force treatment by the Vienna Philharmonic.
