April 2006
The bids fair to being the most provocative Mozart release of 2006, revelatory or exasperating according to taste. Take the opening Allegro of the F major Sonata, K332. Pletnev 'orchestrates' the music with a range of touch and command of colour that few contemporary pianists could equal. The problem for me is that he is reluctant to play four successive bars in the same tempo. The whole movement emerges as a calculated improvisation, each idea minutely, lovingly, sometimes puckishly, characterised.
