Building a Library
Perhaps the first of Mozart's extraordinary sequence of 'late' piano concertos, the D minor, K466, has attracted pianists as varied as Edwin Fischer and Mitsuko Uchida, many directing the orchestra from the keyboard. Tom guides us through a selection of the finest of these, with a recommendation for the essential recording to buy, download or stream.
