About

Two years after her recording of Mozart's piano concertos K271 and K459, Olga Pashchenko returns to the Il Gardellino ensemble for the concertos K466 and K488. K466 is in D minor, a key that Mozart often uses to express the anger of his female characters in his operas. K488 was composed a year later in 1786 and is in the luminous key of A major, although without losing any of the theatrical dynamism of K466. They represent an almost dramatic, pre-Romantic theatricality for Nicolas Derny, who sees these concertos as the precursors of two of Mozart's greatest masterpieces: the Requiem and Le nozze di Figaro. Olga Pashchenko here plays a replica of an Anton Walter fortepiano (c. 1792) built by Paul McNulty.
