Angela Hewitt turns to two of Mozart’s greatest and most popular
concertos for her latest album. Together with her frequent
collaborators, the Orchestra da Camera di Mantova and brilliant Finnish
conductor Hannu Lintu, she presents these works in performances which
are both elegantly stylish and profoundly felt. This release is
completed by a personal reflection on the music by Hewitt herself in the
accompanying booklet.
'The sound is wonderfully clean and focused, with an ideal balance
between Hewitt's customary Fazioli piano and the orchestra. … [K453
finale] Here Lintu starts the movement with light-footed grace, using
minimal vibrato on the strings, Hewitt taking her cue with playing of
elegance and buoyancy … The attention to musical contrast and stylistic
integrity is similar throughout. Hewitt's own illuminating notes in the
booklet are a bonus, making this a Mozart release to cherish' (The Daily
Telegraph)
The success of her performances of K595 and the G major, K453, rests in
part on Hewitt's feeling for Mozart's remarkable harmonic and tonal
range in both works … Mozart gives us plenty more surprises … Hewitt
relishes these, as if freshly exploring and delighting in them … These
characteristics of intelligent delight in the music also mark Hewitt's
performance of the G major Concerto … It is brilliantly done, and this
is a brilliant performance all round' (International Record Review
