Clara Haskil was the best Mozart interpreter of all times. I have heard her live in Brussels performing this concerto in 1959.I was a piano student at the Royal conservatory in Brussels and still remember how the audience reacted when in 1960 we were sitting at the "Palais de Beaux-Arts " expecting to hear her performing a sonatas evening w/Arthur Grumiaux when the announcer came on stage telling us that there won't be a concert---miss Haskil fell stepping down the train from Switzerland. She never recovered and died the same year.Nobody has her silky, velvety touch/sound for Mozart . SAD.
K595 is the most tragic and most beautiful composition among all compositions. It was finished only a few weeks before his death. This music was his farewell to this brutal world of corruption and mediocrity. The second movement, is metaphysical reflection upon his tragic life. I have never seen any artistic expression which reached to this depth and beauty in absolute transparency and simplicity. The last movement is longing and journey to different world. Again such a simple, pure expression. Before this he composed the famous c-minor concerto which seems to be the ultimate expression of despair and darkness from which he suffered. This must be his last expression of suffering. He left this behind and gave us this ultimate musical expression of pure soul.
