  • Description

    Angela Hewitt's voyage of discovery through Mozart's piano sonatas is proving a joy.

    The works sounding newly minted in vital, alert accounts which respect their scale and sensibility while revealing influences of Mozart's orchestral and concerto writing of the period.

    CRITICAL ACCLAIM:



    "it is hard to imagine a more joyous and appropriately raucous performance of the famous alla turca finale of K331 or a greater sense of fun in the closing movements of K311 and K332. Where the music is wistful or the harmonies haunting, she finds a special touch without calling undue attention to it." – International Piano



    BBC MUSIC MAGAZINE INSTRUMENTAL CHOICE, NOVEMEBER 2023



    The Canadian pianist [plays] on one of her beloved Fazioli pianos with the sort of nimble and sensitive articulation that brings this music to life. […] and excellent recital that yields rewards on every listen." – BBC Music Magazine (Performance 5 STARS, Recording 5 STARS)

    "If this first volume is anything to go by, the journey will be a joy." - BBC Music Magazine



    LUDWIG VAN BEETHOVEN: Piano Sonatas Opp 106 & 111 - CDA68374



    "She gets to the heart of the Sonata's existential journey, carrying us from the spiritual depths towards starlight." - BBC Music Magazine
