This release is part of a series from the Alpha label entitled "Next Generation Mozart Soloists," and from the evidence here, pianist Jonathan Fournel will rank high among this generation. This is his sophomore release on Alpha, after an album of Brahms sonatas in 2021, and while the world may not seem to have been clamoring for new performances of these two perennially popular Mozart piano concertos, especially not for one on modern instruments, these have what it takes to stand out from the crowd. In the Piano Concerto No. 21 in C major, K. 467, Fournel plays cadenzas by Dinu Lipatti, and indeed, his playing may remind some of that tragically short-lived figure from the middle of the last century. It is liquid and lyrical. In the famed slow movement of the work, Fournel achieves a level of restrained, ethereal melody that few can match. In the Piano Concerto No. 18 in B flat major, K. 456, Fournel proves equally adept in the more expansive, complex type of Mozart concerto structure and shows that his carefully cultivated smooth tone does not come at the expense of close attention to small details that are, in the usual Mozartian fashion, of great structural significance. The Mozarteum Orchestra under veteran conductor Howard Griffiths, provides perfect, circumspect support, and a small hall at the Mozarteum in Salzburg offers an ideal ambiance. An exceptional Mozart recording showing that the traditional approach is still more than viable.
