These two Mozart pieces, recorded with Suitner & Staatskapelle Dresden from 1963 to the following year, were recorded before the complete piano concertos with Masur & Dresden Philharmonic Orchestra completed in 1970-77. In general, the later complete works are famous, but this No. 15 & 21 is also a wonderful performance in which A. Schmidt's characteristics are in perfect harmony with the music. In the LP era, some of them were also released under the name of the Fontana label, so it can be said that they were widely popular recordings in general. This time, as a memorial edition for Annerose Schmidt (1936.10.5-2022.3.10) who passed away in March 2022, it was reprinted with high sound quality.

This recording was recorded between the ages of 26 and 27 by A. Schmidt, who had already participated in the Chopin Competition in 1955 and won the German Democratic Republic Piano Competition and the International Robert Schumann Competition in 1956. Then, in his early twenties, he began performing in the West. She continued to expand her activities, and until she retired from her performance activities in 2006 due to health reasons, she was well-known in Japan as one of the leading pianists of the former East Germany. Since 1973, she has visited Japan several times. Apart from Mozart, she has also released albums by Chopin, Brahms and Schumann, all of which are excellent. Among her, Mozart's recordings are highly regarded as performances that beautifully reflect her characteristics. As a complete recording of this period, it can be said that it is a masterpiece along with Hebler. She has a sincere attitude that can be applied to many former East German pianists, and her attitude of focusing on her music is highly reliable even now. It's a recording. This 1963 & 64 recording has the same attitude, and the simple piano is developed. Although it was recorded in the early days of stereo, the balance between the piano and the orchestra is superb, and in this reprint from the original analog master tapes in Japan, the resolution has increased, and you can feel the richness of the overtones and the thickness of the sound, including string instruments. I was. It's not just beautiful, but the overall balance, including the atmosphere, is in perfect harmony. It can be said that it is just a gem performance.
