Quanto tentaram tramar Maria João Pires

Pianist Maria João Pires panics as she realises the orchestra has started the wrong concerto…

This is quite extraordinary. The wonderful 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. Can you imagine her horror? You'll have to watch the film below to find out what happened next. [Damian Thompson aqui]
