wahrhaft kaiserlich

“I myself consider it to be the best thing I have ever written in my life.” That is how pleased Mozart was with his Piano Quintet K 452 in the original version with wind instruments in 1784. It was in Vienna, in Mozart’s “piano land” that it was first distributed in versions with strings. And this is how it sounds in Helmut List Halle: an eloquent dialogue between the Consone Quartet and Kristian Bezuidenhout on the historical fortepiano. Mozart also explicitly permitted the chamber music arrangement for his Piano Concerto K415. At the premiere in 1783, Kaiser Joseph II was delighted with this truly imperial concerto.
