  • Description

    In his second disc of Mozart Concertos for Challenge Classics, Ben Kim confronts two great concertos, numbers 24 and 25, both composed in Vienna in 1786.

    The album reflects Mozart's artistic development and how it alienated his listeners, but also of the artist's own journey of finding confidence in vulnerability.

    "there is a faintly sinister atmosphere about the wooden-legged dance theme counterpointed by the piano's roulades, seamlessly executed by Kim." – MusicWeb International

    Ben Kim's previous release (CC72816 Mozart: Concertos Nos. 17 & 23) was welcomed by Gramophone: "his debut with Challenge reveals a sensitive touch... [his] performances give pleasure in their delivery of Mozart's indelible melodic writing" and by BBC Music Magazine: "... a recording that offers considerable rewards."
