About
Mozart’s violin sonatas span his entire career—the early ones are billed as piano sonatas with optional violin accompaniment—and they develop over the years into the first triumphs of the modern genre. Alina Ibragimova and Cédric Tiberghien have been enthralling audiences worldwide with these works, and now the first instalment is available as a highly desirable 2-for-1 album.

It is difficult to imagine [these sonatas] better played
May 2016
It would be hard to imagine more persuasive performances than we have here from the ever-rewarding Tiberghien-Ibragimova duo: delicate without feyness, rhythmically buoyant..., and never seeking to gild the lily with an alien sophistication.

This set is captivating, and true to Mozart’s spirit
29th April 2016
The fluidity of the partnership between Ibragimova and Tiberghien is key to the success of this album – in the earlier works the piano is to the fore, while in the others the balance swings more towards the violin, and in each case they’ve evidently thought about where the right midpoint lies between the two extremes.
16th May 2018
There are happy surprises even in the childhood sonatas, while a later creation, K526, almost bombards the listener with ingenuity, quirks and contrapuntal delight. Alina Ibragimova on the violin brings zestful life to every bar. Cédric Tiberghien’s piano is more galvanising still. I loved it all.
