简介: As usual with Levin/Hogwood Mozart recordings, this one is definitely a keeper. The concerto No. 5 gets off to a thrilling start, and this cd never really lets down after that. Perhaps the best track on the entire disc is the opening movement of No. 16, but there is something to please every Mozart buff here. The liner notes are also very well done, including the explanation offered by Robert Levin of why (and how) he improvises his cadenzas, and for you critics out there, he blatantly states that what he plays can never even approach what Mozart did. Still, Levin comes closer to achieving what these magnificent concertos sounded like more than two centuries ago than probably any other living performer today.
