Christian Blackshaw’s performances of the complete Mozart piano sonatas at Wigmore Hall between 2012 and 2013 received great critical acclaim, and remain cherished memories for the audiences. The second recital, recorded live in May 2012, is now available as a double CD release. 

‘What glories then are contained in this cycle of works by Mozart? For me, they imbue the spirit with joy, laughter, sadness, contemplation, exhilaration: the challenge always is to give full life to their individual character. For the new listener, what wonderful surprises await. For the well-acquainted listener, how fortunate to return to them eager to be enchanted again.’ Christian Blackshaw
