Of the three, Fischer made the fewest commercial recordings – the most famous of these are his Well-Tempered Clavier discs from 1933-36, a handful of Mozart concertos, and his Beethoven "Emperor" (with Furtwängler) from 1951.
Piano Concerto No 20 in D minor K466 Fischer’s interpretation of this concerto, at the time Mozart’s best-known, is classical, symphonic and in many ways strikingly modern. His pianism was at its peak in these years, and this is a typical example of his darting, energetic playing.
Inevitably, and rightly, three discs are given over to Fischer’s Well Tempered Clavier set which was recorded in London between 1933 and 1936. Disc six gives us Mozart. The concertos are a mix of self-directed and conducted by a series of colleagues with whom he seemed to get on, more or less.
