MOZART: THE COMPLETE SONATAS FOR FORTEPIANO - ALEXEI LUBIMOV (6 CDS)

STEREO • RECORDED IN 1990Mozart’s piano sonatas exemplify the economy and subtlety of the composer’s genius. Though simple at first glance, they are works in which each note is filled with musical and expressive purpose. Alexei Lubimov, a master of keyboard repertoire from the Baroque to the contemporary, plays the complete sonatas on three instruments modelled on 18th century originals. These interpretations, which explore the particular possibilities of the fortepiano, led Gramophone to praise Lubimov’s “uncommon sensibility” and “refinements of colouring, articulation and nuance” in playing that “is fluent and even, never mechanical in its brilliance.” - Disc 1 -1 Piano Sonata No. 1 in C Major, K. 279: I.
