About
Mozart's progress from child prodigy to mature brilliance, from innocent insight to inspired innovation, is measured out in his piano music. Somm's survey of six works for one, two and three pianos brilliantly charts both his phenomenal development and his far-reaching transformation of the concerto form. Two of today's finest, most accomplished and admired pianists – Valerie Tryon and Peter Donohoe – bring unrivalled experience to bear in impeccable, incisive and illuminating accounts of the solo and duo works. The young, fast-rising Mishka Rushdie Momen joins them for the discretely dazzling Piano Concerto No.7 (K242) for three pianos.

Awards and reviews
Classical Music June 2018
[Valerie Tyron] modifies the composer’s Sturm und Drang in his D minor Concerto K466 with all of her impeccable taste and musicianship. Closer to Clara Haskil’s sobriety than to Argerich’s tempest-tossed recording, her clear and unaffected playing rises above the orchestra’s seething unrest in the opening Allegro and achieves a true sense of drama in the Romance’s central downpour. For the two-piano concerto and two-piano sonata Tryon is joined by Peter Donohoe, and in the three-piano concerto by Mishka Rushdie Momen. Here, there is a truly glorious sense of relaxed music making, of an interplay and dove-tailing as sparkling as it is affectionate. Somm’s sound and balance are exemplary and Michael Quinn’s note is as enlivening as the playing.
