André de Groote

Cadenzas

The eminent Belgian pianist Andre De Groote was still in his teens when he had the privilege to perform for the first time Mozart's concerto in c minor KV 491. Although he was blown away by the music he was considerably less taken by Hummel's cadenzas. Mozart himself left none for this piece, and after the concert Andre felt spurred to start work on his own cadenzas. These cadenzas presented here are the reflection of an entire career, easy on the ears of pianists and audiences alike. Contains cadenzas for six piano concertos: KV 466, 467, 482, 491, 503, and 537.
