♥♥♥♥♥ Among the best: Mozart Piano Concertos 22, 23 & 24 by Rudolf Buchbinder with VPO
Isn't it great to have your virtual concert at home, especially your favourite Mozart piano concertos played by Rudolf Buchbinder with VPO (the Mozart orchestra). The experience you could merely enjoy from attending a real concert.

Before you really enjoy the virtual concert you would always have your concerns, and pre-conception of the nearly perfect interpretation from the great recordings of the Mozart piano concertos in the past. You wouldn't expect Buchbinder's interpretation could surpass those CDs you use as reference (my reference are: Ashkenazy for K482, Curzon for K488, Haskil for K491). In fact the only expectation would be, at least, it reaches a high level of artistic achievement and performance.

I have watched this DVD for three times before I could give my judgement. Buchbinder's interpretation is among the higher rating, more like the hybrid of Murray Perahia and Alfred Brendel with both elegance and intelligence, and is more academic than showmanship. Buchbinder brings us the joyfulness of late Mozart's piano concertos, with his intrinsic energy induced in the performance. His style resembles tradition from the old school. It is more than you can hope for from this DVD. The performance of VPO is more than satisfying, sometimes even better than Buchbinder himself (especially in K491). The vintage sound of VPO from the golden strings, and especially the predominance of woodwinds (clarinet, flute, bassoon, and oboe in K491) brings the interpretation to a higher level and more than you can expect from the top European orchestra. When this compares with the dry beauty' of Karl Bohm's VPO DVD (Mozart piano concerto No.23 by Pollini) you would be obsessed with and fascinated by such flexible or fluid beauty' of the VPO sound in this DVD.

K482 is the standout among the performance and interpretation of the three piano concertos in this DVD recording (even so the other two are much much more than above average). In all, this DVD can be ranked as among the finest concerto performance in DVD and you shouldn't miss it, especially if you are a lover of Mozart music. It is strongly recommended by the writer.
