About "Mozart: Piano Concerto No. 23 in A Major, K. 488: II. Adagio" by Khatia Buniatishvili

The Adagio from Mozart's K. 488 is a lullaby for an insomniac—Buniatishvili draws out the slow movement with a hushed, almost private tenderness. The orchestra breathes around her piano like a held sigh. Serenity, but with a tremor underneath, as if peace is something remembered, not possessed.
