For the internationally acclaimed soloist Jennifer Lim, it has been a long, cherished wish to record the complete Mozart pianos sonatas. She has finished just that with GENUIN, where her last, critically acclaimed recordings were also released. She invites her audience to Mozart's piano universe, from the first, youthful and stormy works of the teenager to the glowing and infinitely complex sonatas of his final years. She groups the works according to musical aspects rather than chronological order. This offers a special listening pleasure and reveals unexpected and connective relationships between the works.
