Mozart Piano Concerto in B flat, K595, with Meadows Orchestra

15th March 2022 | Concerts | 2 comments

A fortnight ago I performed Mozart’s wonderful Piano Concerto in B flat K595 with the Meadows Chamber Orchestra, a long-standing amateur orchestra which has become an institution in Edinburgh’s musical life. The orchestra celebrates its 50th anniversary this year.

The concert was brilliantly conducted by Gordon Bragg and took place in Stockbridge Church, Edinburgh (see photo taken at rehearsal – minus me as I’d stepped away from the piano to take the picture).

The orchestra made a video of the concerto, available on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9PxERDLFwGo

By the way, the cadenza at the end of the first movement is my own – in Mozartian style (I hope).

    How lovely! Real music ‘sharing’ between orchestra and piano. The slow movement was particularly beautiful, and the last movement lifted the spirits and made me smile.
