English Chamber Orchestra
Soloist and Conductor: Murray Perahia
Piano Concerto No. 27 in B-flat major, K. 595, is Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's last piano concerto; it was first performed early in 1791, the year of his death.
The manuscript is dated 5 January 1791. However, Alan Tyson's analysis of the paper on which Mozart composed the work indicated that Mozart used this paper between December 1787 and February 1789, which implies composition well before 1791. Simon Keefe has written that the composition of the work dates from 1788. By contrast, Wolfgang Rehm (de) has stated that Mozart composed this concerto in late 1790 and early 1791. Cliff Eisen has discussed the controversy over the time of composition in his review of the published facsimile of the score.
The work is in three movements:
0:00 I.Allegro
13:18 II. Larghetto in E-flat major
21:35 III. Allegro
