Lore

Why it matters

Provenance

Where it came from

Released by the Renaissance label during the early 1950s, this recording captures the technical proficiency of pianist Arthur Balsam and conductor Bronislaw Gimpel. The Renaissance catalog was notable in the post-war era for focusing on niche classical repertoire and providing high-fidelity pressings of lesser-heard compositions, such as Mozart’s early Piano Concerto No. 5 in D Major, K. 175, which stands as the composer's first original concerto for piano and orchestra.

The collaboration between Balsam, a prolific chamber musician known for his reliable and scholarly approach to the repertoire, and Gimpel, a virtuoso violinist who occasionally conducted, offers a crisp mid-century interpretation of these works. The disc reflects the period's growing interest in standardizing the classical catalog on the then-new 33 1/3 rpm long-play format, providing listeners with accessible access to Mendelssohn’s virtuosic second piano concerto alongside Mozart’s youthful experimentation.
