Editorial Reviews

The young, articulate, passionate American pianist, Jonathan Biss, an exclusive artist for EMI Classics, returns with his muchanticipated fourth album for the label featuring Mozart's Piano Concerti Nos.21 and22, joined by the Grammy®-Award winning Orpheus Chamber Orchestra (sans conductor). Mozart's Piano Concerto No.21 in C is one of the greatest and most well-known of his 27 piano concerti, with its meditative slow movement used in numerous films (often called the Elvira Madigan Concerto).

    Biss was taught by Fleisher and carries that formidable talent forward along with his own. Both of these Concertos rank among the great ones, and in particular, Biss does honor to Mozart's genius in his interpretation of the 22nd. It has such passion and spirit. Uplifting, creative in its own right and technically superb. Thank you Jonathan Biss!

    I knew his Grsndmother - Raya Garbusova, who was a much-renowned cellist. She would be very proud - and perhaps was instrumental in some of his early bent toward music!

    EMI was wise to sign up Jonathan Biss, who has turned out to be their strongest young piano talent. Having heard him both live and on CD, I couple Biss in my mind with the young Peter Serkin -- both are thoughtful and unaffected, possessed of natural musical instincts. If I am not as enthusiastic about this new CD of Mozart concertos, it's not because Biss is lacking in any way.

    The problem is that Piano Concetos #21 (K. 467) and #22 (K. 482) can't be turned over to a conductorless orchestra, and a reduced one at that with thrity musicians (including 11 violins, 4 cellos). Proficient as the Orpheus Chamber Orch. is, these masterpieces require an interpreter on the podium, whereas what we have here is an imprsonal, flattened reading of the notes. The soloist sounds detached from the instrumental background behind him as he makes his expressive points. The overall effect is light, upbeat, and fresh, but that's not enough. Mozart is the last composer whose music plays itself.

    I think the absence of a strong conductor leaves Biss without that added touch of collaborative inspiration. Sample the famous slow movement in K. 467 -- you'[ll hear no point of view in the beautiful orchestral tutti that opens the movement, only a prettily spun melody.
    The soloist enters with assured touch and refined phrasing, two traits Biss shows throughout this CD, yet I wasn't moved.

    The best I can say is that these are festive, high-spirited glosses. I'm grateful, however, that no period touches were applied; we get full-bodied execution on modern instruments by deep-dyed professionals. And since Biss is such a joy on his own, four stars are well deserved.

    I bought this CD after attending a concert with Biss and the Orpheus Chamber Orchestra that featured one of the Mozart concertos. I am very happy the immediacy, joyfulness, and transparency of that spirited performance translate into this recording. It keeps making me happy.

    The Orpheus Chamber Orchestra is known for playing without a conductor to beautiful effect. The players must all have a very clear understanding of the musical structure and must be very good listeners. The result of their play is so convincing that you will find yourself ordering more copies of this CD for your family and friends, as I did.

    Jonathan Biss is certainly one of the brightest lights in the parade of pianists that grace our concert stages. He is a virtuoso and rather than relying on physical showmanship or indulgent mannerisms, Biss is content to deliver the goods unfettered. On this fine disc he collaborates with the Orpheus Chamber Orchestra and offers two of Mozart's more popular and favorite concertos - K467 (No. 21 in C) and K482 (No. 22 in E flat). The result is chamber Mozart of sterling quality.

    Biss combines a sense of architecture in shaping both movements and complete concerto with technical finesse that is as fine as we are likely to hear from any pianist. His phrasing is eloquent, his fingers flying through the rapid passages and lingering with quiet sensitivity in the slower passages. With Biss at the keyboard there is a sense of security that radiates through the orchestra and to the listener and the result is Mozart at his effervescent and languishing melodic best.

    In a survey of the number of recordings of both of these Mozart concerti there are many with individual moments of greatness. The difference with this performance is that Jonathan Biss goes straight to the heart of the composer and without imposing his personality on the works he allows all of the joy to be Mozart! Highly recommended. Grady Harp, December 08

    3.0 out of 5 stars Déception prise de son
    Reviewed in France on April 17, 2013
    La prise de son en concert n'est pas terrible, car on entend le bruit des marteaux sur les cordes du piano. Je m'en serais bien passé. Interprétation de haut niveau, mais je me fixe sur les bruits parasites et j'oublie d'écouter la musique.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Vivid and exhilarating
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on November 6, 2009
    I heard the last movement of Number 22 on the radio and couldn't leave the room (as I was intending to do) until it finished. I have been a Mozart fan for more than 40 years and have rarely heard a better performance with such vivid sound from all sections of the orchestra - the woodwind especially telling. When I bought the CD I was not disappointed. No. 21 is just as good, and the whole approach seems to fall nicely between authenticity and the emotional and exhilarating experience I enjoy. Well done to all concerned, soloist, orchestra and sound engineers.
