Description:

The long-awaited recording of the complete sonatas, which expressively depict the joys, sorrows, and sorrows of the genius composer, is finally complete! Irina Medjieva completes the third installment of her acclaimed Mozart series with a recording of the complete piano sonatas. From the Baroque-influenced Sonata No. 1 (K. 279), through the masterpiece of the middle period (K. 333) to the D major Sonata (K. 576) of his later years, this is an interesting program that allows us to appreciate the changes in Mozart's creative style through the six sonatas. Medjieva's performance, as in the previous two works, is full of freshness and drive. With a clear touch and articulation, she expressively depicts Mozart's joys, sorrows, and emotions. The performance, which emphasizes the style of 18th century music while making the most of the advantages of the modern piano, can be called a standard for a new era. The album's cover painting by Hazuki Hori, a Niigata-based artist, adds to the album's beauty. Wakabayashi Studio
