Mozart: the Late Piano Concertos

Mozart Piano Concerto No. 20

Season 1, Episode 20 • Music

Type: Classical Music
Program: Mozart's Piano Concerto No.20 in D minor, K466
Conductor: Daniel Barenboim
Orchestra: Staatskapelle Berlin
Location: Siemens Villa, Berlin, Germany
Year: 2014

Urgent, and electrifying, this is Mozart at his most dramatic. From the first restless murmurs, the music surges with tension, something unresolved driving it forward. When the piano enters, it challenges the narrative, weaving between defiance and lyricism, turning the concerto into a vivid dialogue. The slow movement offers a sudden contrast while the piano sings ahead with disarming simplicity. Finally, the finale snaps back with sharp rhythms, racing toward the exhilarating conclusion.
