    A marathon of Mozart with pianist Jae-hyuck Cho at MCO5 Studios in Hilversum: the eighteen Mozart Piano Sonatas recorded in a 10 day period.

    A marathon of Mozart with pianist Jae-hyuck Cho at MCO5 Studios in Hilversum: the eighteen Mozart Piano Sonatas recorded in a 10 day period.  These were revelatory sessions revealing Mozart's genius on the studio's extraordinary Steinway D piano.  These expressive and pellucid performances will be eye-opening for those who hear Mozart as a musician only of his own era's sensibilities.  Working with me on this very special project was engineer Erdo Groot and piano technicians Charles Rademaker and Martijn van Dijk.
