The revival of the complete Mozart keyboard concerto series by Robert Levin and the Academy of Ancient Music has been one of the unexpected pleasures of the 2020s; the series could have foundered after the death of Academy of Ancient Music conductor Christopher Hogwood but is being completed on the AAM's own label, with conductor Laurence Cummings and violinist/leader Bojan Čičić providing a good facsimile of the classic sleek AAM sound. The cycle is down to some of the odder Mozart items; they are rendered with typically fresh ideas by keyboardist Levin, who has rethought the performances of Mozart's concertos along historical lines with such devices as improvised cadenzas. Here, his most radical move is to perform the Piano Concerto No. 5, K. 175, on an organ instead of a piano; the notes point toward a history of secular uses of the organ in Salzburg (the Church Sonata No. 17 in C major, K. 336, really an organ concerto movement, is added on in support of the idea), and the work has no dynamic markings that would have been expected in a fortepiano work. It is not a closed case, but it is a plausible idea. The other surprise is an item from the so-called Nannerl's Music Book, wherein some of the child Mozart's precocious compositions were copied by Leopold Mozart. The book includes a concerto movement in G major, possibly by Wolfgang (an anecdote of the time supplies corroborating evidence), and lacking its orchestral parts; these were supplied by Levin. There are also a pair of concertos transcribed by Mozart from keyboard sonatas by J.C. Bach. Levin plays a harpsichord here and in the juvenile concerto movement, and his performances are straightforward, more so than usual. For listeners interested in the development of the young Mozart's style, this is a worthwhile item.
