Il Gardellino, Olga Pashchenko
Two years after her recording of Mozart's piano concertos K. 271 and K. 459, Olga Pashchenko returns to the ensemble Il Gardellino with the concertos K. 466 and K. 488. K. 466 is in D minor, a key Mozart often used to express the fury of his female characters in his operas. K. 488 was composed a year later, in 1786, and is in the luminous key of A major, but without losing any of the theatrical dynamism of K. 466. For Nicolas Derny, they represent an almost dramatic, pre-romantic theatricality. He sees these concertos as the forerunners of two of Mozart's greatest masterpieces: the Requiem and Le nozze di Figaro. Olga Pashchenko plays a replica of an Anton Walter fortepiano (ca. 1792) built by Paul McNulty.
