Haskil plays Mozart Piano Concerto No. 20 in D Minor, KV 466 with Klemperer (4/4)

IIII
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
Piano Concerto No. 20 in D Minor, KV 466
III Allegro assai

Piano: Clara Haskil
Cond.: Otto Klemperer
---
A few days after the first performance, the composer's father, Leopold, visiting in Vienna, wrote to his daughter Nannerl about her brother's recent success: [I heard] an excellent new piano concerto by Wolfgang, on which the copyist was still at work when we got there, and your brother didn't even have time to play through the rondo because he had to oversee the copying operation. It is written in the key of D minor. Other works in that key include the Requiem, a Kyrie, and the dark opera Don Giovanni. It is the first of two concertos written in a minor key (No. 24 being the other).The young Ludwig van Beethoven admired this concerto and kept it in his repertoire.[1]. Cadenzas for this popular concerto written by famous composers include Beethoven (WoO 58), Johannes Brahms (WoO 16), Johann Nepomuk Hummel, Feruccio Busoni and Clara Schumann.

The greatest miracle in the universe. This unification of Mozart's music and the unique Clara Haskil, both her appearence and performance. I hope her to meet in heaven. But this interpretation is already the entrance !!
