"With his full, controlled yet velvety tone (magnificently reproduced by Decca's engineers), his clean yet faultlessly legato passage work (no xylophonic tinklings for him!), he makes the sonatas into fullscale works..."
- Gramophone
German piano virtuoso Wilhelm Backhaus tackles the Mozart Piano Sonatas alongside the Rondo in A Minor on this masterful legacy recording from Decca! The release comes as part of Decca's 50th anniversary Complete Decca Recordings series for Wilhelm Backhaus.
New remasterings showcasing the incredible integrity of Backhaus’s pianism, featuring the landmark recordings of Beethoven – including two Sonata cycles (mono and stereo – the stereo only omits Op.106, not recorded at Backhaus’ time of death); Brahms’ Concertos, Cello Sonatas (with Fournier); and Backhaus’s celebrated 1954 Carnegie Hall recital.
