Wolfgang A. Mozart: Sonatas

C & A, but also E-flat & A-flat had absolutely concrete, lively significance for both the “old Bach” and the wunderkind Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. A specific character was attributed to each key, along with a clearly defined effect. The three artists on the present GENUIN-CD bring off these effects in masterly fashion on the musical stage: C major is presented directly and clearly, A major enthusiastically and sensually. Annette Unger (violin) and Brunhild Webersinke (piano), supported by Michael Pfaender (violoncello), bring Mozart’s violin sonatas from various creative periods to life with ardour and perfection. The arch extends from the schoolboy’s first compositional attempts to the masterpiece of his final year. And even here, forty years after the death of Johann Sebastian Bach the not merely “baroque” sound character is ever-present and the listener is moved by the lively musical personalities so clearly expressed in tones.
