"Four Stars ... these players find so much meaning in this music.” - BBC Music Magazine "Editor's Choice ... brings together two musicians absolutely at the top of their game and with long experience of working together, as the easy dialogue between them amply demonstrates ... a delight from beginning to end. Would it be too much to hope that this might be the start of a series?" - Gramophone "Tetzlaff and Vogt display strong character throughout yet they still evince warmth and sensitivity. The results are impeccable and dignified; teamwork and love for the music is at the heart of this. The sound quality is pleasingly clear with the piano set slightly further forward in the balance. No admirer of Mozart’s chamber music should hesitate ..." - MusicWeb International This collection of Mozart sonatas for piano and violin marks the first chamber music recording from violinist Christian Tetzlaff and his longtime musical partner pianist Lars Vogt. These works distinctly demonstrate the composer's ingeniousness and show a wide range and strong ambiguity of emotions. Mozart brought the genre to its first summit with a set of three sonatas, two of which bookend this programme. The third sonata presented here belongs to an earlier set, considered unique at the time.
