Friedrich Gulda is known to all He is the musical wizard with the embroidered cap an artist who is equally at home in jazz the Vienneses lied or the works of the Viennese Classic Gulda might have only performed a small number of his Austrian compatriots 27 piano concertos but with tese few he certainly created a sensation That the present recording of the Concertos Numbers 20 and 21 even after 25 years is still regarded as ranking among the very best performance is something that can be heard after just a few bars The minorkey piano joins in with almost somber clarity and proceeds to lead a concentrated tightly enmeshed conversation with the orchestra The C Major Concerto sparkles brightly with its thrilling vituoso partwriting and transparent almost chamberlike instrumental ensemble The listener will do well here to forget the popular concept of a funloving highspirited Mozart and to recognize the ardent passionate side of the composer
