''Its glory is primarily Curzon's playing. He sees these concertos whole and he has their measure. (…) It is so
effortlessly natural and effective and it has a surface beauty that few can fail to find. Beneath the surface, however,
it is extraordinarily complex and infinitely fascinating, like all great Mozart; and it's on this level that Curzon
interprets the notes. When you hear Mozart playing like this, you realize how superficial most other performances are.''
- Gramophone
