Mozart – Aus Dem Ludwigsburger Schloß

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
Performed by Justus Frantz (piano), Ulf Rodenhäuser (clarinet), with the Orchester der Ludwigsburger Festspiele conducted by Wolfgang Gönnenwein

Recorded in the refined atmosphere of Ludwigsburg Palace, this release brings together two of Mozart’s most expressive and emotionally rich concertos, performed by an exceptional ensemble of soloists and orchestra. The result is a recording that balances classical clarity with a vivid sense of live performance presence.

The Piano Concerto in D minor KV 466, performed by Justus Frantz, is one of Mozart’s most dramatic and intense works. Its stormy opening movement gives way to a deeply lyrical Romance, before culminating in a spirited and virtuosic finale. It remains one of the composer’s most powerful statements for piano and orchestra.

Paired with it is the Clarinet Concerto in A major KV 622, performed by Ulf Rodenhäuser, Mozart’s final instrumental masterpiece. Elegant, warm, and profoundly expressive, it showcases the clarinet at its most human and singing, particularly in the serene Adagio movement, often regarded as one of the most beautiful slow movements ever written.

Together, these works form a compelling portrait of Mozart at his most emotionally direct and artistically refined.
