Wonderful.......2006-02-12
If you want performances on period instruments - and you do - this volume of two with the complete violin sonatas makes an easy choice. Natural, intimate performances - like an animated conversation between two old friends. I didn't know the performers but after hearing this, I do not hesitate to say that their achievements compare favourably with the best: Podger & Cooper, Manze & Egarr, Seiler & Immerseel. Recommended!
Wow!.......2006-02-08
I bought both volumes of these sonatas after hearing only the first track and have not for a moment regretted the decision to do so. In college, I had the opportunity to play and become intimately acquainted with these sonatas. Being partial to 'period' performance, I have always been on the lookout for a good 'historically informed' recording and Breitman and Rivest don't fail to deliver. These are sonatas for fortepiano and violin, not violin sonatas and Breitman and Rivest's approach always keeps that cardinal rule of these pieces in mind. The transparent timbre of the gut-strung violin and fortepiano lend a clarity to these sonatas not often found in a lot of other recordings. The impeccable technique of both artists with the judicious use of vibrato by Rivest adds to that clarity. A wonderful opportunity for those who think they don't like period performances to become aquainted with the practice.
Even better than Vol 1.......2005-10-16
Please see my review of Volume 1. This is perhaps even better!

Album Description
This integral version of Mozart's Sonatas is a rarity on the market. David Breitman is an active performer, teacher and scholar whose specialty is Classical Period performance practice. Equally at home with the modern piano and the fortepiano, his growing discography reflects his versatility. Audiences and critics are unanimous about Jean-François Rivest: he is a spectacular conductor endowed with tremendous energy, precision, emotion and exaltation who knows how to lead his orchestras efficiently towards artistic development. Great depths of feeling as well as a strong sense of structure characterize his interpretations.

This and the second volume by these performers are both simply superb. Unlike some "period" recordings, with these artists you are never aware of any self-conscious attempt to be "authentic". The music is alllowed to speak for itself, with great sensitivity and facility, and with obvious delight. And the music itself is, of course, glorious. The sound of the recordings is quite excellent -- immediate and intimate. I can't imagine these thrilling works being played or recorded any better, and I cannot recommend these two CDs highly enough. Sublime Mozart, beautifully played. Who could ask for anything more? Bravo!!!

Customer Reviews:
How would Wolfgang have played these?.......2007-01-12
These three sonatas, written when Mozart was still in his teens, are intended to be the first volume in a series that will explore the concurrent development of both Mozart's piano music and the instruments for which they were likely composed. Although Levin recorded these in his late 50s, one might well imagine that the 40-year-younger Mozart handled his own music similarly. If you are familiar with Levin's earlier recordings of Mozart concertos, you will not be too surprised at the result, but if your standard is smooth, unornamented performances on a modern piano, you will be forced to reject, to think, or possibly to do both. Levin's style is equally valid, but surely more authentic. If you haven't the slightest interest how it might have sounded in 1775, you will not wish to invest in this package.
The companion DVD is extremely useful to understanding what is going on. You may even wish to watch it before you listen to the music, but even if you enjoy the CD (as did I) be sure to take a look.
For the person who complained about wanting scores included also, anybody interested in this disc will want to know about the "Digital Mozart Edition" -- Amazon doesn't like URLs in its reviews, so just enter the above phrase in Google, and don't be put off by the German title -- there is an English-language interface on the site. Not only these three sonatas, but everything the man wrote.
Very fast, not great Mozart........2006-09-20
Robert Levin can play this music very fast. Unfortunately, playing Mozart too fast makes the music sound facile and shallow. In Mozart, more than any other composer, the spaces between the notes are very important.
Also, while I admire the clarity which the pianoforte brings to the music, the richness and depth which a Kempff or a Pires can bring to the music are sorely missed. I agree with the reviewer who says this performance reminds him of Glenn Gould's performances of Mozart. Only problem is, while Gould's Bach was great, his Mozart was mechanical.
To hear this music at its optimum, get either of Maria Joao Pires' recordings on Denon or DG. The DVD is very informative and entertaining.
Great start for a series.......2006-09-11
I would agree with the reviewer below. Levin's performances are incredibly exciting. Amusingly, in some ways, his approach is closer to Gould's than either he or the late, great Glenn would care to admit. The secco touch, the unromantic phrasing, the intensity and rude fortissimi - this is not your grandma's Mozart. But to these ears, it sounds close to the real thing. As the kiddies used to say, this disc rocks.
The dvd extra is pretty good, esp. the full performance of an excerpt from k. 279. Aside from that the best parts are when Levin demonstrates the music or discusses the mechanisms of the piano and fortepiano. I also would have preferred if they had included scores to print out, as was done with Mutter's recording of the Beethoven Violin Sonatas.
BTW, the inclusion of a "free" dvd should give all consumers considerable insight into just how much of a profit the record companies were making off cd's until the advent of mp3.
Great New Mozart Series.......2006-08-14
I recently purchased Robert Levin's CD of Mozart's first three piano sonatas and thoroughly enjoyed his performance. This recording uses a replica of a piano that was familiar to the composer. The sound of this piano is bright, clear, delicate, vibrant and powerful in forte passages. Levin's improvised embellishments make this CD extra special. Each repeat is played with added ornaments and cadenzas, a common practice in Mozart's time. Levin conveys the affect of Mozart's music beautifully. The fast movements are exuberant and rambunctious. The slow movements are tender and poignant.
I was surprised to find a bonus DVD that accompanied the CD. (No information about the DVD was presented in the description of the recording.) This video contains a "behind the scenes" look at the recording process, the character of the music, the different qualities of the Viennese piano compared to a modern piano, and a performance of the finale of K 279. I hope the subsequent volumes in the series have the same kind of DVD.
Customer Reviews:
From The New York Times.......2007-03-03
"Sergiu Luca and Malcolm Bilson have chosen to record Mozart's sonatas for piano and violin on 18th-century instruments. Luca's violin, a 1733 Venetian instrument, survives in an unaltered state, while Bilson's fortepiano is a modern copy of Mozart's own. The old instruments allow the performers to achieve a remarkably broad dynamic range and a perfect balance between fortepiano and violin. Luca's playing is warm in tone and enlivened by a generous yet controlled application of vibrato; Bilson proves a nimble, fleet-fingered partner. Above all, these are two sensitive performers who never allow their devotion to period practice to interfere with the expression of the music. The result is Mozart of transparent, crystalline beauty."

When played with all its repeats, the opening variations movement of Mozart's famous "Turkish March" Sonata lasts a quarter of an hour and can seem interminable. Malcolm Bilson plays it with all the repeats, adds exquisite embellishments to them, and plays with such nuance, color, and energy that the music becomes completely engrossing. The March itself is as playful and charming as it's ever sounded. This is just an example of the great artistry and musical intelligence constantly on display in this set, the first volume in a series. Among current CDs it is unquestionably the preferred way to hear Mozart's Piano Sonatas on the fortepiano. --Leslie Gerber
