Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
Keyboard Concertos (2019)
For me, Mozart’s music is timeless and not linked to any specific instrument. It communicates a sense of pure joy, a lightness founded on depth and a feeling of unbridled singing. It evokes images of an exuberant child dancing across a meadow. That is the spirit of Mozart to me: an unconditional devotion to life, a love for reality, acceptance and ultimately reconciliation.
“…the resulting sounds are convincing in every way. Such grace, such lightness, such expression – absolutely beautiful! The soloist performs with keen musicality and vitality. And the ideas for the cadences (high points!) by the performer. An excellent production – this Swiss Mozart on the accordion.”
“Joy in performance and melancholy, life and death – what calls this to mind more beautifully than the accordion? Chassot and the Camerata are in splendid form. “The amazing sounds invoked from the deepest conviction in Piano Concert No. 11 achieve their effect unerringly, especially with CAMERATA BERN playing so wonderfully.”
“Mozart concertos on the accordion: it’s something you have to hear.”
