The first ever release of Lili Kraus’s complete Mozart piano concerto recordings on EPIC/Columbia in a single 12-CD edition. All recordings restored from the original analogue master tapes using 24-bit / 192 kHz technology. Facsimile LP sleeves and labels, booklet with full discographical notes.

Sony Classical reissues the landmark Mozart Piano Concerto Cycle with Lili Kraus and the Vienna Festival Orchestra conducted by Stephen Simon, all newly transferred, mixed and mastered from the original analogue tapes using 24-bit / 192 kHz technology and released on 12 CDs. Throughout her long career, pianist Lili Kraus was regarded as a leading Mozart interpreter, who imbued the composer’s keyboard works with a stylish fusion of lyricism and strength. Between 1965 and 1966 she recorded Mozart’s complete solo piano concertos in Vienna. The sessions not only realized one of the pianist’s long held ambitions, but also helped put the talented young American conductor Stephen Simon on the map. Shortly after completing the recordings, Kraus and Simon performed the entire cycle in concert at New York’s Town Hall.
