One of the leading performers of his generation on historical keyboard instruments, Arthur Schoonderwoerd specializes in music of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. For his new set of Mozart's complete Piano Sonatas, Schoonderwoerd has selected three different instruments, each of which provides a variety of tone colors and unexpected insights into familiar repertoire. The keyboards include a tangent-action piano based on Spaeth & Schmahl (ca. 1770), a fortepiano with uncovered hammerheads based on Johann Andreas Stein (ca. 1780) and an unfretted clavichord (model dating from ca. 1780). Schoonderwoerd's witty and freely improvisatory performances display a greater freedom than many other historically accurate Mozart interpreters. Album Tracks 1. Allegro 2. Andante 3. Allegro 4.

This compilation brings together popular orchestral works and ballet music by Tchaikovsky. Dmitrij Kitajenko and the Gürzenich Orchestra Cologne, of which he has been Honorary Conductor since 2009, have recorded the complete symphonies by Shostakovich, Prokofiev, Tchaikovsky and Rachmaninov. These recordings have been awarded with numerous international prizes and are considered important reference recordings. Their recording of Tchaikovsky's opera Iolanta in 2015 (with Olesya Golovneva, Alexander Vinogradov and Andrei Bondarenko in the lead roles) caused a sensation, and it received the Opera of the Year Award of the International Classical Music Awards (ICMA).
