Piemontesi rises to the challenge with conviction. With tone ranging from dusky to glittering, always clear and thoroughly articulated, the transparency of his playing reminds us that Mozart is any musician's ultimate test...he proves himself a Mozartian force to be reckoned with.

Piemontesi is a highly intelligent musician, with a wide-ranging repertoire, but his Mozart playing is certainly special, intensely thoughtful and scrupulously prepared.

Piemontesi approaches these piano works with all the textural lucidity they require. But his intellectual and stylistic sights are set much higher and deeper than mere clarity...Piemontesi’s playing on this disc identifies a Mozartian of rare refinement and wisdom.

Programming a CD with a collection of Mozart’s piano works is not easy … Piemontesi cleverly adds a couple of rondos after a fine performance of the less popular D major Sonata.
