With maestro Brendel's ever-increasing stature and artistry, it is safe to say that this new recording of the Mozart Concerti 20 and 24, performed here with the excellent Scottish Chamber Orchestra and Mozart conductor par excellence Sir Charles Mackerras is yet again proof that only Brendel himself can outdo Brendel. This recording is sure to meet with similar praise as his re-recording of the Beethoven concertos. Brendel's musical partnership with Mackerras is thrilling and inspiring.

The wonderful rapport between Alfred Brendel and Charles Mackerras and the Scottish Chamber Orchestra brings to life these much loved Piano Concertos by the world's most popular composer. Although they have collaborated many times in performance this is their first recording together.
 

"Brendel was his inimitable self - no more and certainly no less - which meant a musical treat of the highest order...it was the life-affirming quality of Mozart, captured so marvellously in the defiantly carefree triple time ending of this concerto that Brendel and Mackerras chose to celebrate to the full."
The Independent

"...Musicians like Brendel, the emperor amongst us, cannot but provoke a sense of the enormous, of a world of ideas and intellect..."
