Mozart, Piano Concerto No.25 in C major, K.503
Born on 11 February 1946, Rudolf Buchbinder celebrated his 60th birthday just two weeks after Mozart's 250th birthday - a happy coincidence of landmark events that prompted the great Austrian pianist to present a series of Mozart piano concertos with the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra at the 2006 Vienna Festival. The works, recorded live at the Musikverein in Vienna on 7 May 2006, represent the crème de la crème of Mozart's concerto output of the years 1784 to 1786.
