Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
For many, Keith Jarrett is still best known for his jazz forays: extended yet gorgeous improvisations at the keyboard that literally hypnotize listeners (and helped fund ECM, still the artist's label of choice). So, it would be easy to expect Jarrett to deliver a seat-of-your-pants, highly improvised interpretation of these three Mozart piano concertos. You'd be wrong, however. Jarrett's performance on these works is deft and delicate. Meanwhile, Dennis Russell Davies and the Stuttgarter Kammerorchester can be heard loud and clear (and in fine form, it should be noted), never overpowered by the pianist; instead, a perfect balance is struck between orchestra and soloist. More than anything, what surfaces from this double-CD is Mozart's great music: the finale of No. 17 is delightful; throughout the D-minor concerto, we hear the role of the woodwinds in astounding detail. The added bonus of Mozart's solemn Adagio and Fugue in C Minor makes for a gorgeous, though slightly restrained, finale. Yes, Jarrett is the star here, but the real kudos go out to ECM, for capturing such a well-balanced, beautiful recording of these works. --Jason Verlinde

- Reviewed in the United States on April 5, 2025It is unclear whether this was an Intercontinental project, but in the 1980s a concert was held in Japan in which Keith Jarrett and Chick Corea played Mozart (and, of course, played together).
It is a rare concert where the contrast between the two musicians, who are more 'pianists' playing Mozart than jazz players, can be enjoyed.
It was not that Chick Corea was bad, but that Keith Jarrett's affinity with Mozart was so outstanding that, with apologies to Chick, it seemed that Keith was completely the star of the show.
I bought this CD set as soon as I heard Keith's Mozart after a long time. I will probably listen to it from time to time in the future.
- Reviewed in the United States on May 28, 2013I bought this CD for my boyfriend who is a very particular classical music fan. He had hear KUAT playing this one of these concerti in their internet stream and while we were late leaving the house, he wouldn't turn it off until it was done. I made a note of the time and date and looked it up in their play list and bought it for him for Christmas. I was pleased to find out that it is a 2CD set with three concerti. My boyfriend liked them all. If he liked them, they have to be good. I can recommend this CD.
- Reviewed in the United States on December 2, 2013One of the very best Mozart's CD I have heard. The tempo of the orchestra is perfect shining with brilliance. Specially concert No. 453!
- Reviewed in the United States on November 30, 2012For those that get tired of the frenetic, smeary Mozart with blasting chamber textures and blurry banging piano playing - this will be a treat for your ears. Tempos never rush, Jarrett offers technically secure keyboard technique with complete clarity of both left and right hand fingering. He's on a full size acoustic piano, maybe not a concert grand for sure, but the piano has a beautiful tone.
Davies and the STuttgart players offer tonally accurate, rythmically steady playing with a great recording revealing welcome instrumental definition.
This disc will be a great addition to anyone's Mozart collection of piano concertos; in particular those that want to hear full clarity, Mozarts score and instrumental writing with no slop, rushed tempos, overlooked orchestral detail or that "smear" that occurs when Mozart is rushed, pushed too fast.
That middle "Elvira Madigan" andante is delightful. I like the Allegro vivace final movement well controlled, as played here. Amazing orchestral detail.
- Reviewed in the United States on July 24, 2004Keith Jarrett is a tremendously impressive artist. He switches gears between jazz and classical, between solo and orchestral work, in a seemingly effortless manner. One would never assume that the pianist on this recording is a renowned jazzman, but so he is. This recording features some of my favorite Mozart concertos and it will NOT disappoint.
- Reviewed in the United States on February 15, 2000Jarrett's first Mozart album got me started in Mozart Piano Concerti. His clean, straight-forward style is refreshing and lets me go right to the music seemingly without interpretation. And yet, underneath I feel the intense drive of his solo albums, all that passion contained and focused.
- Reviewed in the United States on November 8, 2000This recording is positively sublime. I believe W.A. Mozart would have been proud to hear Keith Jarrett play his compositions.The first time I heard it I almost wept. Truly brilliant! Highly, highly recommended.A feast for the ears.
- Reviewed in the United States on March 5, 2013Jarrett's playing is mechanical, with no soul or feeling.He sounds like a well oiled machine going through the motions.Mozart's music when played with feeling lifts the soul and spirit.Jarrett does not do this.I'm afraid his playing is very dull and uninspiring.

5.0 out of 5 stars DUVA123
ピアノ協奏曲第21番、第23番、第27番と合わせて購入しました。淡々と演奏されるキースジャレットのモーツァルトピアノ協奏曲はひとことで言って「気持ち良い」。アコースティックな録音も独特の雰囲気。

Wolfgang SchepelmannReviewed in Germany on August 18, 2013
5.0 out of 5 stars Ins Dasein geworfen...
Schon nach den ersten Takten des - zu oft -gespielten d-moll Konzerts wird klar: hier geht es um einen anderen Mozart: nicht beethovensches per noctem ad lucem, kein virtuoses Auftrumpfen des Solisten, sondern verhaltene Trauer eines Komponisten, dem seine Geworfenheit ins Dasein trotz seiner jungen Jahre immer bewusst ist. Es ist ein echtes Konzeptalbum, das wir hier hören, und wie wir es schon seit langem nicht mehr gehört haben. Schweres, dunkles Orchester, langsame Tempi, nichts Jazziges, wie man es vielleicht von Keith Jarrett erwarten könnte, sondern tiefernste Seriosität. Das Adagio und Fuge in c-moll bildet den kampromisslos tragischen Abgesang. Großartig, ein Muss für jeden Mozartfreund!

5.0 out of 5 stars Le rêve :Mozart et Keith Jarrett
Cela change un peu de l'académisme. Et là même ceux qui ne sont pas toujours convaincus des performances pianistiques du meilleur jazzman contemporain, n'auront rien à redire !

相変わらず、丁寧で綺麗なキースのモーツァルト。K.466は、チック・コリアの演奏とよく比べられます。たしかにキースの演奏はチック・コリアに比べると大人しいですね。K.466について言えば、わたしは(k.466のクラシック演奏家のCDは何枚も持っているので)結構いじくっているチック・コリアを選ぶけれど、キース好きなら、聴いて損はないと思います。
