Description:

Ciccolini's last Mozart with the LPO!Aldo Ciccolini was one of the most famous pianists of the 20th century. A specialist in French music as well as a renowned interpreter of Liszt's works, Ciccolini was known for his active performing career until shortly before his death. The two works are conducted by Yannick Nézet, who was appointed Principal Guest Conductor of the LPO in 2008, and by Yannick Nézet, who was appointed Principal Guest Conductor of the LPO in 2009. Yannick Nézet-Séguin has been the LPO's principal guest conductor since 2008. The Rachmaninoff is a wonderful performance, but the Mozart is even fresher and more sprightly, supported by Ciccolini's refined piano playing, which shows the good relationship between the conductor, pianist, and orchestra.
