Víkingur Ólafsson: Mozart & Contemporaries Limited Edition 2LP CLAS-5 taking in every major symphonistMulti award winning pianist Vkingur lafsson turns his attention to the music of MOZART. Juxtaposing works by Mozart, Haydn and C. P. E. Bach with rarely recorded Galuppi and Cimarosa, Mozart & Contemporaries dispels the image of Mozart as the angelic and prodigious idiot savant, instead presenting a mature composer through music primarily dating from the 1780s. All is artfully brought together by lafssons signature thought provoking programming.
