About

Mozart's Piano Concertos no.9 and no.19 performed by renowned interpreter of the classical repertoire, Clara Haskil.

Miss Jeunehomme, a brilliant French virtuoso (who Mozart will refer to as Jenome in his letters) was visiting Salzburg in 1777 when Mozart wrote this Concerto no.9 in E flat major for her. In its classical form it belongs to the first of the great concertos of his repertoire. Composed with an inimitable enthusiasm, underlined by the three traditional tempos, an initial Allegro, an Andantino with breathtaking simplicity and a Rondo (very lively), this masterpiece implies an abundance of new ideas and reveals its wealth of juvenile vivacity.

The Concerto no.19 in F major is also called "First Coronation Concerto". In 1770 Mozart played it in Frankfurt for the coronation of Leopold II. More exuberant in its instrumentation, this concerto already announces the great masterpieces toward the end of Mozart's life. The first movement Allegro is of undeniable melodic wealth. The subsequent Allegretto brings a sweet melancholy to light, while the final Allegro assai allows more free rein to the soloists virtuosity than anywhere else.

Recorded 1952–1956
