Paolo Giacometti, Riko Fukuda, Die Kölner Akademie & Michael Alexander Willens - Anton Eberl: Piano Concertos opp. 32 & 40 (2012)

Anton Eberl is often referred to when discussing contemporaries of Beethoven and Mozart. He was one of Beethoven’s leading rivals in the field of instrumental music, but unfortunately most of his work has disappeared. Having studied with Mozart there was no other composer whose works were more frequently passed off a Mozart’s than Anton Eberl. The Piano Concertos opp. 32 and 40 presented here are performed on a period pianoforte and follow the model of the solo concerto developed toward the end of the eighteenth century – as realised exemplarily and individually in Mozart’s Piano Concertos.
