This rendition of Mozart's Piano Concerto No. 22 in E‑flat major, is performed by Daniel Barenboim, as pianist and conductor. Musically refined and wholly engaging, the performance blends mastery and accessibility. The performance is charming and the rapport between Barenboim and the orchestra is cohesive. The second movement is hauntingly beautiful, and gorgeous in tone and blend. The production makes generous use of multiple camera angles without becoming fussy. Mozart would be delighted.
