Mozart - Complete Keyboard Sonatas & Variations

Performers Brautigam, Ronald
Composers Mozart, Wolfgang Amadeus
Instruments Fortepiano
Label BIS
This album features Ronald Brautigam performing the complete piano sonatas of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart on a fortepiano. The recordings were made in August 1996 at Lanna Church, Sweden, using a fortepiano by Paul McNulty, modeled after an instrument by Anton Gabriel Walter from around 1795. Brautigam, born in Amsterdam in 1954, is known for his performances with major orchestras and his collaborations with notable conductors. His focus on historical instruments, particularly the fortepiano, adds a distinct texture to his interpretations of Mozart's work, emphasizing the composer's brilliance and the nuances of the period instruments.

Ronald Brautigam's dedication to the fortepiano is evident in this comprehensive collection, showcasing the depth and range of Mozart's piano sonatas. Each performance is meticulously recorded, capturing the subtle dynamics and expressive potential of the fortepiano. Brautigam's extensive training and experience, including studies with Jan Wijn at the Sweelinck Conservatory and further training in London and the United States, have honed his technical and interpretive skills. This album not only highlights Mozart's compositional genius but also Brautigam's mastery and his ability to convey the emotional and structural intricacies of the sonatas through a historically informed performance. The result is a profound listening experience that offers both historical insight and musical enjoyment.
