PAISIELLO, G.: Piano Concertos Nos. 1, 3 and 5 (Nicolosi, Campania Chamber Orchestra, Piovano) |
With more than eighty operas to his credit, Paisiello rivaled Mozart for success in this competitive
field, though his eight keyboard concertos fell short of Mozart’s output in numerical
terms. They are, however, unfailingly delightful works whose charm and deftly balanced interplay
between the solo instrument and orchestra are characteristic of Paisiello’s appealing
style. Although the First Concerto was conceived for harpsichord and the Third and Fifth for
fortepiano, each retains its transparent beauty when performed, as here, on a modern piano.
The Second and Fourth Concertos are available on Naxos 8.557031.
