Prom 29: Leif Ove Andsnes – Mozart Momentum 2

London

United Kingdom

Royal Albert Hall

When Mozart composed his piano concertos, he had a very specific performer in mind - himself. For Norwegian pianist Leif Ove Andsnes, that's part of the appeal. Seeing how quickly Mozart was developing in the early 1780s, one wonders: Why did this happen? what happened there? Tonight, the endlessly engaging, multi-award-winning pianist puts himself in Mozart's shoes as he performs two contrasting masterpieces from 1785: the stormy and tender Concerto No. 20 and the sunny, delightfully playful Concerto No. 22. Throughout the concert, he conducted the Mahler Chamber Orchestra from the piano, just as Mozart would have done. Expect eloquence, empathy, and (because this is Mozart, after all) lots of fun.

Approved

Mozart aimed to please. He created arias that were ‘perfectly tailored’ to their singer’s voice, and rituals of solemn grandeur for his fellow Freemasons. And for his superfans in the music-loving city of Prague, he wrote a symphony designed to knock them backwards with its daring, its energy and its sheer theatrical flair. In this second of three Mozart Momentum concerts at the Proms, Norwegian pianist Leif Ove Andsnes zooms in on the year 1786, and finds Amadeus at the absolute peak of his game. Soprano Christiane Karg is one of the supreme Mozart interpreters of our time; and Andsnes takes the place of the composer, directing Mozart’s tragic C minor Piano Concerto – some say his greatest – from the piano.
