In this performance of Mozart’s Piano Concerto No. 27 in B-flat major, K. 595, Barenboim is pianist and conductor, in a performance from Berlin’s historic Siemens-Villa. This concerto was Mozart’s final piano concerto, and Barenboim approaches it with respect, poise and tenderness. The music is inward-looking: graceful on the surface but touched with a quiet farewell. The performance is serene, luminous, and human, not a flashy virtuoso showpiece, but a poetic meditation.
