About "Mozart: Piano Concerto No. 23 in A Major, K. 488: II. Andante" by Arturo Benedetti Michelangeli/Naples Scarlatti Orchestra/Franco Caracciolo

The Andante of K. 488 is a slow, luminous ache—Mozart's most heartbreaking slow movement. Michelangeli strips away ornament, leaving bare emotion: a quiet walk through empty rooms. The beauty is almost unbearable, each note a tear held back, a calm that trembles.
