Mozart - Piano Concerto No. 20


The Piano Concerto No. 20 in D minor, KV466, was completed in 1785 by Austrian composer Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756 - 1791) as part of an impressive cycle of 27 concertos for the instrument. It was an instant success and has remained popular ever since. The work is in three movements, with a gorgeous Romanze second movement, and the average playing time is 31 minutes (AllMusic). My version is by Friedrich Gulda and the Vienna Philharmonic under Claudio Abbado on a Deutsche Grammophon CD.
