The informality is the best part. Is as if you've got friends over and they're playing the concerto in your living room while they wait for the roast to finish cooking. Thanks for the link. I'll have to mosey on over. Yes! The informality is the best part.

After watching, I searched around and discovered you can watch the whole first movement here: http://www.pentatone.nl/index1.htm?fla/mozartfischer2.html I think it's fantastic that record companies are posting this sort of thing; I'm much more likely to purchase this album now. It's interesting how the relative informality of this video makes the music seem all that more genuine and engaging. I happened to catch some of Barenboim playing Beethoven VERY seriously last night on Great Performances and it just left me feeling shut out - although, in fairness, I didn't see the whole thing. But there was a coldness about the presentation that was the opposite of this Mozart video. Thanks. After watching, I searched around and discovered you can watch the whole first movement here:
