COMING SOON: A New Mozart CD Release from Argerich!

As you may remember, Martha Argerich teamed up with her longtime chum Claudio Abbado and his young Orchestra Mozart for a few concerts earlier this year in Lucerne to play works that are not on her regular concert menu; Mozart's piano concertos KV 466 and KV 503.

Even if you were not among the fortunate who were able to experience the concerts live, you needn't worry. As I reported in May, Deutsche Grammophon recorded both works for a later release. I can now confirm that the CD will be released in February 2014! 

I will post online links for ordering the item, when more information becomes available, but for now here is an exclusive sneak peek to the cover photo of the new CD -
