Description:
This journey travels straight to the heart of Mozart's music: the maestro's birthplace, Salzburg, is seen in all its beauty and splendor as two of his most sublime compositions--the Piano Concertos No. 13 and 20--are heard. The performances by piano soloist Jeno Jando and Concentus Hungaricus, led by conductor Andras Ligeti, are most appealing, and the music is a wonderful accompaniment to the glorious footage of Salzburg and its environs. Highlights of this spectacular travelogue include the Mozart Museum; the composer's boyhood home; and, from the surrounding countryside, the Lake Weissensee resort and the ever-awesome Alps. Only a soundtrack of Mozart's music could be the equal of such stunning visuals. Lone quibble: The disc's "travel notes" (briefly describing places "visited" during each concerto's movement) would be more helpful if they could be accessed while viewing the program. --Kevin Filipski
