Peter Donohoe - Piano Sonatas 4 - COMPACT DISCS [CD]
About This Item
- Details
- Genre: Classical
- Description: Volume 4 of Peter Donohoe's acclaimed survey of Mozart's Piano Sonatas on SOMM Recordings focuses on the composer's adoption of the newly emerging pianoforte and his bold exploitation of it's more sophisticated voicing. Sonatas Nos.1 in C major (K279) and 5 in G major (K283) were composed as a set of six InchdifficultInch sonatas by the 18-year-old prodigy in 1774. Containing hints of the mature genius to come, the Scarlatti-accented outer movements of the First Sonata frame a seductively perfumed, sensuously realized central passage of precocious sophistication. Sonata No.5 moves from grace to complexity to echo CPE Bach before ending in a breathless, left-hand accented contradanse celebrating the growing freedom and fluidity of Mozart's piano writing. More emotionally conflicted, Sonata No.12 in F major (K332) was composed in the wake of Mozart's failed search for employment in Paris, his mother's death and a moment of spiritual despair. Two miniatures complete the volume the mysterious and engrossing late Minuet in D major (K355) and the austere and searching Allegro in G minor (K312). Christopher Morley returns as author of the series' authoritative and illuminating booklet notes. SOMM's Mozart Piano Sonatas survey has attracted superlative reviews.

Recording sessions took place between December 1978 and June 1979 at Allen Zentz Recording, Westlake Recording Studios, and Cherokee Studios in Los Angeles, California. Jackson collaborated with a number of other writers and performers such as Paul McCartney, Stevie Wonder and Rod Temperton. Five singles were released from the album. It was his first solo under Epic Records, the tag he would record on until his death roughly 30 years later. Album Tracks 1. Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough 2. Rock with You 3.

Thriller explores similar genres to those of Off The Wall, including pop, post-disco, rock and funk. Recording sessions took place on April to November 1982 at Westlake Recording Studios in Los Angeles with a production budget of $750, 000, assisted by producer Quincy Jones. Seven singles were released from the album, all of which reached the Top 10 on the Billboard Hot 100.
