The ‘Lodron Concerto’ for three pianos was composed in 1776. The young man’s irrepressible sense of fun is obvious, with the musical line divided between the three players; one piano continues what another has started and the third concludes – ‘a true musical joke’ as conductor and pianist Manfred Huss says in his liner notes.
The Concerto in E flat major KV 365, written three years later, is according to Huss ‘in many respects Mozart’s first ‘big’ piano concerto. It is the first in which we find the very characteristic intertwining of the woodwind and the piano part, accomplished very effectively and virtuosically.’
Mozart seems to have been so fond of the work that for a later performance he added clarinets, trumpets and timpani to the orchestra. Both versions of the score are found on the present recording, played by Alexei Lubimov and Ronald Brautigam, two of today’s finest performers on the fortepiano. The two versions frame the triple concerto, in which Lubimov and Brautigam are joined by Manfred Huss, artistic director of the eminent Haydn Sinfonietta Wien, who here make their first appearance on BIS.
