About this product

The much anticipated second volume of Peter Donohoe's complete survey of Mozart's Piano Sonatas for SOMM Recordings focuses on three sonatas produced during the composer's ill-fated journey to Paris in 1777. This new follows remarkable critical acclaim for Volume 1 including the accolade of BBC Music Magazine's Recording of the Month which declared InchIt was high time someone blew the cobwebs off this still under-appreciated repertoire, and Donohoe is clearly the person to do it.Inch Volume 2 promises more revealing performances from Donohoe, applauded in Gramophone's review of Volume 1 for demonstrating Incha personal involvement that is as touching as it is fascinating and finely consideredInch. As if anticipating the mighty Jupiter Symphony, with uncharacteristically detailed tempo indications and an improvisatory quality in places, the Piano Sonata in C major (No.7, K309) may have been composed with Rosa Cannabich in mind, Mozart's 15-year-old student giving it's first performance in late 1777. In a relatively rare key signature for Mozart, the A minor Piano Sonata (No.8, K310) was composed in 1778 immediately after the death of the composer's mother. Intense and expressive, it shows, Christopher Morley succinctly suggests in his informative notes, InchMozart at his most grimInch. Spacious, full of grand gestures and animated display, the Piano Sonata in D major (No.9, K311) is Incha big, spectacular Sonata, full of effect and colorInch that explores the full range of the keyboard with winning exuberance. The A minor Rondo (K511) was composed in March 1787 and, notes Christopher Morley, Inchunfettered by the obligations of orchestral constraints, [it] builds in chromatic intensity and melodic urgency to emerge as one of the most profound movements ever penned by the composerInch.

SOMM Recordings announces the launch of a major new series surveying Mozart's complete Piano Sonatas featuring the acclaimed Inchlion of the keyboardInch Peter Donohoe in his highly-anticipated first-ever recordings of the composer's solo piano works. The landmark six-volume series launches with two early Sonatas - Nos.2 (K280) and 6 (K284) - and a later masterpiece - No.17 (K570), the first composed when Mozart was 18 in 1774, the last, described by Alfred Einstein as Inchthe idealInch of the composer's sonatas, in 1789 at the age of 33. Mozart's 19 Piano Sonatas, as music critic Christopher Morley comments in his booklet notes, Inchcover so much of his short life... and a huge range of styles and genres, from quasi-concertos without orchestra to simple study pieces... There are generic dance-movements, there are movements of exquisite contemplation, there are explorations of searching counterpoint, there are the most exquisite melodies, and there is the perfume of operaInch. The sonatas in this first volume include the early, harpsichord-accented Second in F major (K280), the dignified ceremonial of the Du¨rnitz Sonata, No.6 in D major (K284) and the Sonata No.17 in B-flat major (K570), a work whose surface brilliance disguises it's inner complexity. The impressive and sombre Fantasia No.3 in D minor (K397) completes the . Described by BBC Radio 3 as Inchone of our greatest home-grown performersInch, Peter Donohoe's previous recordings for SOMM have attracted substantial critical approval and include the complete sonatas of Scriabin and Prokofiev along with works by Stravinsky. His recent partnering with Valerie Tryon and Mishka Rushdie Momen in Mozart's solo, duo and trio Mozart concertos prompted Gramophone to remark Inchit's good to be reminded just how much fun Mozart's works involving multiple pianos areInch.

Today Lena Neudauer is in great demand as a musician who delights an international public with the clarity, power, charm, and emotional depth of her violin playing. For this reason, following her successful interpretation of Beethoven's Violin Concerto for cpo, we now are also very delighted to have obtained her services for the interpretation of three violin concertos by Antonio Rosetti she has a special place in her heart for this charming composer, and her stupendous virtuosity enables her to rise to the challenge of the high technical demands of his concertos. Movements of exuberant freshness flow and overflow with performance joy, and these three concertos once again display Rosetti's tendency to endow the first movements of his solo concertos with extensive orchestral introductions and richly diverse musical material. This is listening pleasure of a special kind!
