About This Song

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

Michelangeli's touch is crystalline, almost brittle, in this finale to K. 488. The Allegro assai bursts with suppressed joy, each phrase a tightrope walk between elegance and abandon. The Naples orchestra provides a warm, breathing cushion, letting the piano's wit sparkle without ever losing its poised, aristocratic cool.
