Olga Pashchenko and Il Gardellino present their third recording of Mozart's piano concertos, after the first two installments (ALPHA726 and ALPHA942) were very well received by press and public: "The most thrillingly 'authentic' Mozart I have ever heard", wrote The Spectator... Mozart composed his Piano Concerto No. 6 in January 1776, followed by the eighth in April. The then 20-year-old did not want to shock the Salzburg aristocracy and wrote simple music that nevertheless "transports us to the calm gentleness of a paradise garden, entirely in the style of Gluck and Rameau's 'Champs-Elysées'", as Olivier Messiaen said. The date of the premiere of the Concerto K. 465, which was completed on September 30, 1784, is still shrouded in mystery. It is assumed that Mozart performed it in February 1785 in Vienna in front of his father Leopold, who wrote to his daughter Maria Anna that Wolfgang had triumphed and the emperor had tipped his hat and shouted "Bravo Mozart!". As with all her recordings, Olga Pashchenko has selected the appropriate instruments for this recording: a copy of the Anton Walter fortepiano (ca. 1792) by Paul McNulty and a copy of the Spath & Schmahl tangent piano (Regensburg, 1794) by Chris Maene.
