Mozart’s melodic inspiration was unceasing and permeated even his most private and intimate pieces. The acclaimed arranger, pianist and conductor, Peter Breiner, has selected across the range of Mozart’s compositions – including popular works from the symphonic, concerto and choral canon, as well as lesser-known works – to create an album of the composer’s greatest melodies arranged for piano.

Peter Breiner (b. 1957) is a Slovak conductor, pianist, composer, arranger, and writer, among the world’s most frequently performed musicians. A graduate of the Košice Conservatory and the Academy of Performing Arts in Bratislava, he studied under Alexander Moyzes. He has conducted leading orchestras worldwide, often from the piano, and is known for projects like Beatles Go Baroque, Elvis Goes Baroque, and Christmas Goes Baroque. His arrangements of national anthems have been used at the Olympics, and he has recorded the complete set for Naxos. Breiner’s acclaimed recordings include Dvořák, Mussorgsky, Tchaikovsky, and Janáček adaptations. He has also composed film scores and created music used by top ballet companies and in popular television shows.
