Pires Plays Mozart

Trevor Pinnock is famous the world over for his stylish and energetic
performances of baroque and classical repertoire. For his CBSO conducting debut he has chosen one of the wittiest of Haydn’s London Symphonies and the first real masterpiece among Mozart’s piano concertos, played by one of today’s greatest Mozart pianists. Each half begins with a work which looks back to an earlier age: Brahms’s delightful variations are a tribute to the high classical period, while John Adams’ orchestration of one of Liszt’s strangest piano pieces looks instead to the future.
