This is Andreas Staier’s first solo recording under his new contract with harmonia mundi. Mozart’s sonatas, variations and isolated movements for solo piano were written for his own use by a respected, highly acclaimed virtuoso. On that account they might well be set alongside the piano works of such composers as Franz Liszt and Sergey Rachmaninov. A. Friesenhagen
Andreas Staier plays a fortepiano by Monika May, Marburg, 1986, after Anton Walter, Vienna, 1785.
