Wolfgang Amadé Mozart

A shifting of reality, as in Milan Kundera’s novel “The Unbearable Lightness of Being,” is presented by Tobias Koch (harpsichord) and Lisa Marie Landgraf (violin) in the young Mozart’s great violin sonatas. Perhaps also the great Mozart’s young violin sonatas. For how freshly the music still sounds today on this GENUIN CD, after nearly 250 years! It is still entertainment music in the best sense of the word – as almost everywhere, but with a double bottom and net with Mozart. At any rate, the times have fortunately passed when the harpsichord sounded like an egg-slicer and the baroque violin like ill-treated catgut. The two young musicians’ presentation of probably the best violin sonatas ever dedicated to a Mannheim Princess-Elector are beautiful in sound, voluminous, expansively shaped and performed with boundless fun – truly an “oeuvre premier.”
