Interesting

Pascal Rogé is an acclaimed interpreter of French piano music, and his foray into the works of Mozart showcases his versatility and deep understanding of classical piano repertoire. The Piano Concerto No. 25, K. 503, is particularly significant as it is one of the last of the twelve great piano concertos Mozart wrote in Vienna, a testament to his mature style. The inclusion of the Rondo K386, a piece often overshadowed by Mozart's concertos, provides listeners with a more comprehensive view of the composer's work for piano and orchestra.
