Overview
Mozart’s piano sonatas require brilliant musicianshipand a profound feeling for humanity.
FrancescoPiemontesi, hailed as ‘a Mozartean of rare refinementand wisdom’, makes a welcome return to WigmoreHall, opening his recital with a fine product of Mozart’slate teens and pairing the passionate C minor Sonatawith the Fantasia in C minor.
This cycle of Mozart’sworks for piano continues on Thursday 15 December2016, and stretches into 2017 with two further recitals.
