Kristian Bezuidenhout – Fortepiano
Elegant, dramatic Mozart. In Volume 7 of his internationally praised Mozart cycle, Kristian Bezuidenhout includes two works influenced by Wolfgang’s 1778 stay in Paris: the grandly proportioned Sonata in A minor, K.310 and the dazzling Variations in C on “Lison dormait”, K.264. “Few players coax as much depth and detail from the fortepiano as this … [Bezuidenhout’s] enviably high standards maintained” (BBC Radio 3, review of Volume 4)
