Less familiar than the fully scored versions, Mozart's chamber reductions of these three piano concertos are nonetheless authentic masterpieces in their own right. Among the lightest and most transparent of the concertos, and appealing to amateurs through the relative ease of their parts, these works were suitable for transcription and useful for Mozart's greater purpose: to circulate his music throughout the homes of Viennese connoisseurs. Tailored for piano and string quintet, these chamber concertos are much more intimate and conversational than the orchestral versions. Though woodwinds, brass, and the full complement of strings are supplanted by only five players, the essence of Mozart's original scores is preserved in the rich and varied textures of the smaller ensemble. The piano, however, remains at the center of attention, and its virtuosic role is unchanged, except interpretively, in terms of meeting the quintet on a more equal footing. Pianist Susan Tomes plays with relaxed amiability, more out of camaraderie than in competition, and the balance she strikes with the quintet is agreeable. The Gaudier Ensemble reciprocates and provides a gemütlich accompaniment behind Tomes, largely reserving its full sound for the expositions and recapitulations. Hyperion's recording is clear and focused, and the piano's placement is forward without sounding forced.
