Mozart – Concerto No. 23 in A Major, KV488

Performed by Martin Stambalov, piano Accompaniment: Plovdiv Philharmonic Orchestra Conductor: Nayden Todorov A lovely, popular concerto full of melody and gorgeous orchestration, especially notable for its beautiful use of woodwinds to complement the piano. Really one of Mozart’s absolute finest achievements, it has been eternally popular since its publication and remains on the top lists of many pianists. Requires some tricky fingering in the last movement, so crack those knuckles and kick yourself into gear with Maestro Nayden Todorov and the Plovdiv Philharmonic as your backup. Includes an authoritative printed music score and a complete reference recording in digital stereo, with soloist; then a second version in digital stereo of the orchestral accompaniment, minus the soloist. The audio is accessed online using the unique code inside each book and can be streamed or downloaded. The audio files include PLAYBACK+, a multi-functional audio player that allows you to slow down audio without changing pitch, set loop points, change keys, and pan left or right.
