Fischer's Mozart Reissued Again
EMI has gotten more mileage with reissues than any other classical label. Sure they have the greatest archive of recordings in the history of music sitting in their vaults, but how many times do they have to reissue the very same performances on CD? Annie Fischer's legendary 1959 accounts of Mozart's 21st & 22nd Piano Concertos, with conductor Wolfgang Sawallisch conducting the Philharmonia Orchestra, were previously available (and probably still can be found used in the Amazon Marketplace) on a 2CD set that originally went for half the price of this title. That EMI Seraphim two-fer also featured Fischer's 1960 recordings of Mozart's 20th & 23rd Concertos with Sir Adrian Boult conducting the same orchestra, performances that have yet to resurface on CD. In all, this is certainly a five-star performance by Ms. Fischer, but EMI gets a one-star deduction for continually putting a new face on the same classic product and charging the consumer more money to boot.
