Mozart, W A - Piano Concertos Nos. 9 & 24 - Vogt, Lars

The untimely death of award-winning pianist and conductor Lars Vogt on September 5, 2022, deeply shocked the international music world. About 16 months earlier, already aware of his diagnosis and in the midst of his treatment, the artist had an urgent desire to record a Mozart piano concerto album with the Orchester de chambre de Paris. He believed that performing these fantastic works, which he admired so much, would also be the best medicine for his illness. For this Mozart album, Lars Vogt combined two concertos: the early, boisterous Piano Concerto No. 9, "Jeunehomme," which Mozart wrote in his twenties, and the melancholic and nostalgic Piano Concerto No. 24, which many consider Mozart's greatest piano concerto – the perfect conclusion to Lars Vogt's latest concerto album.
