About

Mozart’s earliest piano concertos are not, in fact, original compositions but rather pastiches or arrangements of other composers’ works. The pieces presented in this recording date from a later period in Mozart’s youth; they are his first original concertos for piano and orchestra. Each one of these concertos seems to be a small capsule containing the secrets of the future masterpieces. The works truly announce the reinvention of the piano concerto; throughout history, Mozart will remain the greatest master of the genre. Mozart’s very first original piano concerto, in D major, can leave a listener completely bewildered. In his very first attempt at writing in this genre, Mozart already shows rare certitude and an incredible amount of audacity. In this work, written at the age of seventeen, Mozart not only proudly declares his love for the piano concerto, but also clearly affirms his determination to detach himself from the light, eighteenth century Galant Style.

Praised by the New York Times for his first concert at New York’s Lincoln Center in 2004, David Greilsammer has since then been regularly invited to perform in the most important concert halls worldwide and under the leading conductors of our time. This recording, his debut as pianist and conductor for the American label Vanguard Classics was hailed by the critics and selected by the Daily Telegraph as one of the ‘CDs of the Year’ in 2006. It is now being re-issued on his new label Naïve
