Mozart: Piano Sonatas Nos. 15-18 / Maria João Pires, piano

Notes & Reviews:

Beautiful performances of Mozart's late piano sonatas by the world renowned Portuguese pianist Maria João Pires. The recordings originally appeared on the Denon label in the 1970s and are now available from Regis at super-budget price. 'Pires has always been something of a Mozart specialist, and her playing is tasteful and cleanly articulated, the lyrical melodies sensitively shaped, the passage work fluent and even. Nothing she does is ever harsh or graceless.'

"This reissue of Pires’s 1974 recording is doubly welcome — for the quality of her playing and for the reminder of how much lies beneath the unimposing surface of Mozart’s late piano sonatas...The playing, elegant but incisive, is a delight." -The Sunday Times
