Description: Poor F.X., laboring under his mother's decision to add "Wolfgang Amadeus" to his given name, spent 30 years in the wastes of Ukraine, probably half happy to be away from the comparisons with his father and half ruing his obscure position. This was his most popular concerto (1820) and, as critics of the day put it, "His melodies are not unworthy of his immortal father" and "the spirit of his father pervades this composition". Sebastian Knauer (piano), Netherlands Chamber Orchestra; Philippe Entremont.
