Sonatas & Fantasies on CD

"Mozart is the purest of all musicians; he is music itself," affirmed Claude Debussy. And where, if not in Mozart's works for keyboard, could we find a more fitting example of utter clarity and purity in music? His keyboard output was vast, particularly in view of his short lifespan. The purity referred to by Debussy runs like a red thread through the selection of works by Mozart featured on this album. Tender, exquisite melodies are what makes each one of these pieces so special. On the other hand, stunning virtuosity and any sort of grand gestures are kept in check.
