Konzert Für Klavier Und Orchester F-dur KV 413 / Konzert Für Klavier Und Orchester C-dur KV 415

Released in 1976 on the East German label ETERNA, this recording captures a collaboration between the acclaimed East German pianist Annerose Schmidt and the Dresdner Philharmonie under the baton of Kurt Masur. These two concertos, KV 413 and KV 415, were written by Mozart in Vienna during the early 1780s as he sought to establish himself as a virtuoso performer and composer for the subscription concert series. They represent the refined galant style of his earlier Viennese period, designed to showcase both technical facility and conversational interplay between the soloist and the ensemble.

The production reflects the mid-century tradition of East German classical recording, characterized by ETERNA’s commitment to high-fidelity documentation of the state-supported orchestras. Kurt Masur, who served as the principal conductor of the Dresden Philharmonic during this era, was noted for his structural clarity and faithful interpretation of the Classical repertoire. The release was part of a larger effort to ensure that the works of the Viennese masters remained accessible within the Deutsche Demokratische Republik, and the performance is regarded as a standard, technically precise interpretation of these specific concertos.
