American Record Guide: Critic's Choice 2020

Pianist Anne-Marie McDermott's Mozart Piano Concerto cycle continues with Mozart's brilliant first original Piano Concerto, the D major Concerto , K. 175, composed at age 17.  Volume 2 also presents two of Mozart's unquestionable masterpieces, the powerful concerto in D major, 451, and the ever-popular Concerto in B-flat major, K. 450.  McDermott's Mozart Vol. 1 has been met with glowing praise, Donald Vroon in The American Record Guide writing of K. 238:  "Her playing is better than anyone else that I've heard. It's so alive! It's as if I never heard this Concerto before."
