Mozart: The Compositional Second Thoughts of a Master Improviser

Renowned pianist Robert Levin has captivated audiences worldwide with his exceptional performances in recitals, as a soloist, and in chamber concerts across the globe. One of his remarkable achievements is the revival of Classical period practices through improvised embellishments and cadenzas, bringing a vibrant and authentic touch to his interpretations of Mozart and Beethoven. Notable among his recordings are the complete Bach concertos, collaboratively performed with Helmuth Rilling, as well as his interpretations of the English Suites and the Well-Tempered Clavier on five different keyboard instruments, which are featured in Hänssler's remarkable 172-CD Edition Bach­akademie.
