Amazon.com essential recording The three sonatas on this disc were all written in 1777-78, and mark Mozart's attainment of a new level of skill and sophistication in his writing for the piano. Uchida's accounts, recorded in 1985, midway through her survey of the composer's complete piano sonatas for Philips, are sympathetic and nicely shaped. Some pianists have found more vehemence and darkness in the A minor sonata, K. 310, and more elegance in the two major-key works, but the balanced, essentially lyrical approach Uchida brings to the music works very well. This is soulful playing, of an intimacy not often encountered these days, and the recording does it full justice. --Ted Libbey Similarly Requested CDs

CD ReviewsMagical Mitsuko & Mozart Michael B. Richman | Portland, Maine USA | 02/19/2001 (5 out of 5 stars) "Prior to buying this disc of three Mozart Piano Sonatas, my only experience with pianist Mitsuko Uchida was on several albums of Schubert's Sonatas. Those Schubert CDs were all delightful, and in hindsight I can't believe I didn't approach her Mozart titles until recently. There should be no complaints about this recording of Piano Sonatas KV 309-311 from February 1985. Her playing is of unbelievable virtuosity, heartfelt sympathy and understanding. Well, actually I can think of one problem, this disc could have easily added another sonata or two since the CD logs in at under an hour. But alas that would spoil the flow and balance of these three works, which were originally published together. Sometimes less is indeed more, and these three sonatas form a perfect union. This is truly timeless piano playing." What, only one review of this disc? Geoffrey P. Smith | ATLANTA, GA USA | 08/17/2001 (4 out of 5 stars) "The version of the A minor sonata is one of the finest recorded, and is worth the purchase of this CD. The other two are excellent, but there are other great interpretations ...there will always be quibbles about this that or the other, but overall this represents one of the best in Mitsuko Uchida's much-praised cycle. Star docked only because the program is a tad short for a full priced disc." Timeless Eric Krupin | Salt Lake City, UT | 11/27/2001 (5 out of 5 stars) "The music is, of course, by Mozart and requires no salesmanship. Ms. Uchida's performance achieves that highest level of artistry wherein you feel that nothing stands between you and the composer. Her limpid interpretations will sound as simple and correct 50 years from now as they do today. Brava!"
