In the booklet for this CD the music journalist Hans-Klaus Jungheinrich writes about the character of Keith Jarrett recordings of classical music, especially Mozart's works, it so Jarrett, it does not go "to 'sparkling' bravado and stormy eloquence" and said he would instead an "unadorned, straightforward (...) narrative". That's praise meant and directed against the criticism of those who keep Jarrett's classical style for the featureless, boring. One must not forget that Jarrett comes from classical music and developed his enthusiasm for jazz piano until the late teens. His interpretation of classical music is so well founded. The combined on this CD three piano concertos and the adagio and fugue were, as well as the previous work included, with the Stuttgart Chamber Orchestra conducted by Dennis Russell Davies. The trend here is some more Moody pieces assembled (although explicitly on the previous release with the "Moorish Funeral Music" a mourning piece is available). Two of the piano concertos come from Mozart's time in Vienna, which is very popular especially in the 19th century D minor Concerto (K. 466) and the G major Concerto (K. 453). From the Salzburg Mozart's era, the "Jeunehomme" originates called E major Concerto (K. 271), which he dedicated one of his piano pupils. The slightly melancholic tone of the double CD emphasizes the final Adagio including Fugue (KV 546), a wonderfully moody composition of the great Wolfgang Amadeus. In fact, not too pushy-expositorisches piano from the enjoyment of this wonderful music distracts. Keith Jarrett is not yet, but precisely for this reason truly not insignificant Mozart interpreter.
