Mozart Piano Concerto No. 20 - Grafenegg Festival, Austria

After Rudolf Buchbinder’s interpretation of Mozart’s C major concerto on Saturday, pianist Yeol Eum Son plays its melancholic predecessor in D minor, a key Mozart also chose for his Requiem. In this concerto he abandoned conventions, celebrating his personal genius.

The «Leningrad» is Shostakovich’s best-known symphony: a musical document of Russian resistance to the Nazis.
