“The textures [in the Tchaikovsky] are lighter and sprinkled with arpeggios…Pomp has gone; the mood is poetic, as though we had dipped into Schumann’s piano concerto by mistake…Pianist and orchestra pounce on the [Prokofiev’s] pungent rhythms like hungry lions and stir burning energy and rage. This is Gerstein’s first concerto album and it’s definitely one you notice.”

Lovers in closets, leaps into the garden, nocturnal trysts: Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart has taken the text of his poet familiar Lorenzo Da Ponte and composed a masterpiece with all the ingredients of a perfect romantic comedy.
