This 1976 Deutsche Grammophon release, catalog number 2535 168, features legendary German pianist Wilhelm Kempff performing some of Mozart's most iconic keyboard works. The record was part of the label's broader efforts during the 1970s to repackage and distribute Kempff's authoritative interpretations of the classical repertoire to a wider audience, often utilizing their hallmark high-fidelity recording standards to capture the subtle nuances of his touch.

The selection highlights Kempff's reputation as a pianist of deep intellectual rigor and lyrical sensitivity. His approach to Mozart often prioritized clarity and a singing tone over the virtuosic showmanship that characterized many of his contemporaries. Upon its release, this pressing was well-received by critics and listeners alike as a definitive document of Kempff’s Mozart style, further cementing his status as a pillar of the Deutsche Grammophon roster during the mid-20th century.
