Maria João Pires and the Mozart Concerto

Maria João Pires is ready to play a Mozart piano concerto with the Amsterdam Concertgebouw conducted by Riccardo Chailly, only to hear the orchestra begin playing another Mozart concerto – no 20 in D minor, K466, not what she was expecting or had prepared for.   What happens next is an extraordinary display of grace and testament to artistic rigor.
