Andras Schiff playing the Mozart piano concertos with the Camerata
Academica, Salzburg, the Decca set. Currently on disc 9, nos 26 and 27,
again. I just can't let such fine music disappear back into storage.
Andre is referring to the 13CD Decca set 443 747-2.
Wonderful performances - highly recommended.

Actually, Iain, now that I go looking for the 'missing' 4 CDs, I notice
my Schiff set is the 9CD Decca set 448 140-2 lacking concertos 1-3, 8,
10. I wos robbed! (Hey, Marie, I'll just remember you gave *my*
complete set to Iain...)
The first *complete* set of the Mozart Piano Concertos out of my boxes
is my next favourite, Jeno Jando with Concentus Hungaricus under Andras
Ligeti/Matias Antal, Naxos set in two boxes, Vol 1 8.505011 and Vol 2
8.506002.
Do you know the work of the Polish pianist Andre Tchaikowsky? He died
young but sometime in the early 1970s in a very busy festival where I
was up till the early hours every night as the host of the literary
side, I rose for his 10am (how effing uncivilized can the schedulers
get?) performance every day for a fortnight. A couple of years later I
paid Christopher Hogwood the same respect; a totally different
approach. Not many can get me out of bed before noon...
