Mozart’s 12th Piano Concerto, like the piano concerto No.14 K. 449, is still part of the early Viennese concertos. Still, in terms of content and form, it moves further away from this creative phase and points to the second group of Viennese concertos, which begins with the 15th Piano Concerto. He wrote both concertos as early as 1782.
With the 14th Piano Concerto, Mozart is at the crossroads from the old form to a new classical concept of the piano concerto. He states that he treats the wind instruments ad libitum one last time. In a letter to his father in 1784, Mozart reported: “This is a concerto of an extraordinary kind, and written more for a small than a large orchestra.” The accompaniment can also be played with string instruments. In this recording, K. 414 is played with an accompanying string orchestra, whereas K.415 is presented with a full orchestra, including wind players.
The soloist is the celebrated Italian Pianist Filippo Faes, one of the long-time favorite artists performing Volker Hartung and his Cologne New Philharmonic Orchestra.
