About
The much anticipated second volume of Peter Donohoes complete survey of Mozarts Piano Sonatas for SOMM Recordings focuses on three sonatas produced during the composers ill-fated journey to Paris in 1777. This new release follows remarkable critical acclaim for Volume 1 (SOMMCD 0191) including the accolade of BBC Music Magazines Recording of the Month which declared: It was high time someone blew the cobwebs off this still under-appreciated repertoire, and Donohoe is clearly the person to do it. Volume 2 promises more revealing performances from Donohoe, applauded in Gramophones review of Volume 1 for demonstrating a personal involvement that is as touching as it is fascinating and finely considered.

Donohoe takes each work at face value, keeping shifts of tempo and impromptu ornamentation to a minimum but still playing with the sensitivity that was palpable in Vol. 1…You can tell he particularly enjoys those moments during which the music is at its most ‘fingery’.

His sensitivity to Mozart’s music and identification of its quality is multifaceted... More than that, Donohoe’s Mozart is well considered and satisfying.
