John Irving in The Mozart Project
John features in several films recorded specially for inclusion in The Mozart Project – the 5* internationally best-selling interactive book on Mozart for iPad. Available on the iTunes Store, The Mozart Project was described by Stephen Fry as ‘a completely new kind of book’. John wrote several chapters and appears in a number of video and audio recordings within it.
These video and audio clips explore Mozart’s piano music, his chamber music and concertos including excerpts from: the G minor Piano Quartet, K.478; the Piano Concerto in F, K.413 (in the composer’s own arrangement for piano and string quartet); and an anonymous Viennese arrangement from c.1793 of the Quintet for Piano and Winds as a Piano Quartet, K.452. The recordings were made at Winchester College in March 2013.
‘It is quite lovely playing: a considered tempo that is laid back and charming, but with a symbiotic relationship with the strings and piano’ Jon Baxendale
