It was EMI producer Suvi Raj Grubb who not only effectively “discovered” the young Barenboim for records but also gave him his first chance to conduct an orchestra on record with this cycle of the complete Mozart Piano Concertos, of which this was the first release.

The partnership of Producer and artist gave rise to many great recordings, including the complete Mozart and Beethoven piano sonatas, as well as the Beethoven Piano Concertos with Klemperer. Barenboim’s friendship with Grubb also secured what was to be the last recording of Jacqueline du Pré, Barenboim’s first wife, playing Chopin and Franck in 1971 before she became too ill.

Recorded 1-2 January 1967, Abbey Road Studio No.1, London, with producer Suvi Raj Grubb and engineers Robert Gooch (with Neville Boyling on No.20)

Cut at Abbey Road Studios from the original stereo analogue master tapes with the Neumann VMS82 lathe fed an analogue pre-cut signal from a specially adapted Studer A80 tape deck with additional ‘advance’ playback head, making the cut a totally analogue process.
