Description:

Noriko Shirakamis signature album, featuring Mozart arranged by Hummel, is now available in a 4-CD box set!Noriko Shirakamis definitive recordingfeaturing Mozarts piano concertos (Nos. 10, 18, 20, 24, 22, 25, and 26) and Symphony No. 40, arranged for chamber orchestra by Hummelis now available as a 4-CD box set. Hummel, who was, so to speak, Mozarts legitimate successor as his pupil, not only adapted the works for chamber ensemble but also made Romantic-style modifications to further highlight the pianos charm. In this recording, Shirakami uses three different pianos, allowing listeners to appreciate the distinct tonal qualities of each. Not only can you enjoy the differences from the original scores, but youll also discover new charms in Mozarts masterpieces. This box set is an absolute bargain and is undoubtedly a classic among recordings of these arrangements!King International
