By modifying the balance of the dialogue between the two protagonists, whom he turns into genuine alter egos, Mozart leads the genre of the sonata for fortepiano and violin onto the road to modernity. Isabelle Faust and Alexander Melnikov present here the third volume of an exciting complete set on period instruments. Their playing, showing ‘great elegance and utter rigour’, is distinguished by ‘a tender and delicate expressiveness served by exceptionally subtle nuances’ (Classica).
