Paul Badura-Skoda, worldwide renowned interpreter of Viennese classicism and, thanks to the year of his birth – 1927 – Austria's most senior active pianist, is releasing another new recording, following the trilogy of Mozart’s piano sonatas (Gramola 98989-91). In conjunction with the Cannes Symphony Orchestra (Orchestre régionale de Cannes Région Provence – Alpes – Côte d’Azur) under the direction of Wolfgang Dörner, Mr. Badura-Skoda presents his interpretations of Mozart’s piano concertos No. 9 / K 271 (Jeunehomme) in E-flat major and No. 21 / K 467 (Elvira Madigan) in C major. Paul Badura-Skoda, besides his performances, is very proficient in musical theory and history of interpretation, a facet proven by numerous publications and critical editions as well as the liner notes to most of his CDs, where Badura most eloquently and entertainingly retraces the works’ history of origin and reception. As encore, the wonderfully dreamy Adagio K 356 / 617a for glass harmonica is included.
