Video: Mozart Momentum with Leif Ove Andsnes
Thursday, June 17, 2021
Introducing the first two episodes in a new series in which Leif Ove Andsnes explores the life of Mozart in two remarkably creative years
Leif Ove Andsnes's album 'Mozart Momentum - 1785' was our Recording of the Month in the June issue, with our reviewer Harriet Smith noting: 'The year 1785 was, even by Mozart’s standards, an annus mirabilis, as this double album abundantly demonstrates. But what we also gain from hearing these pieces in this context is an appreciation of the interconnections between them, and that’s certainly brought alive in every performance.' You can read the full review in Gramophone's Reviews Database.
Leif Ove Andsnes has embarked on a fascinating video series to accompany the Mozart Momentum album project. You can enjoy the first two episodes in the series below, with future instalments appearing on Sony Classical's YouTube channel.
Episode One, 'Piano Land Vienna'
Episode Two, 'The Momentum'
