New. Mozart: Piano Concertos, Vol. 12
Jean-Efflam Bavouzet (piano), Andrea Nemecz (piano), Rose McLachlan (piano), Manchester Camerata, Gábor Takács-Nagy

Wallis Giunta (mezzo-soprano), Jennifer France (soprano), Katarina Andreasson (violin), Benjamin Herzl, Swedish Chamber Orchestra, Hk Gruber
[Giunta] does amazingly well to make the translation (WH Auden and Chester Kallman) both audible and engaging. —
