What makes Mozart’s music beautiful? Perhaps the master himself gave the best answer to this question when he wrote about his middle piano concertos: “The concertos are precisely the middle ground between too difficult and too easy. Here and there even connoisseurs alone can receive satisfaction – but in such a way that the non-connoisseurs must be satisfied with them without knowing why.” William Youn has a deep admiration for Mozart: “For many, Mozart is ‘elegant’ or ‘lovely’, for me it is the gigantic range between the highest drama and fragile happiness that makes his music so fascinating.” At the last Mozartfest, the Korean-German pianist was Artiste étoile and delighted audiences and the press with his touchingly subtle interpretation of Mozart’s twelfth piano concerto. Now he returns with Mozart’s thirteenth and has a specialist ensemble rich in tradition at his side: in 1949, when the UK was also thirsting for new artistic beginnings, the London Mozart Players were founded and committed themselves to the spirit of the Viennese classic.
