Mozart: Noriko Ogawa plays Piano Sonatas Nos. 10-12

Noriko Ogawa follows her recordings of Debussy’s solo piano works (BISCD1955/56) and Rachmaninov’s First and Fourth Piano Concertos (BIS-CD-975) with three piano sonatas by Mozart. The three sonatas here are often grouped together as ‘the Paris Sonatas’. At the time, Mozart was establishing himself in Vienna, and composed piano sonatas to exploit the growing market for printed music and to use as teaching material. More than 200 years later these particular sonatas remain among Mozart’s best-loved compositions.
