Piano concerto No. 23, in A (K.488) played by Phyllis Sellick (piano) with BBC Orchestra
(Section C)
Led by Marie Wilson
Conducted by Sir Adrian Boult
Mozart's Piano Concerto No. 23, in A, was completed in Vienna on March 2, 1786, just three weeks before the equally remarkable C minor. In December of the same year came a third great piano concerto (in C major, K.503), and Sir Donald Tovey has pointed out that this trio of concertos is comparable with the trio of great symphonies written two years later. The A major is, he says, ' with the additional element of pathos in its remarkable slow movement, as eminently a study in euphony as is the E flat Symphony '.
