Following her critically acclaimed recording with Sir Roger Norrington and the RSNO of Violin Concertos by Mozart, Francesca Dego turns to a selection of his violin sonatas with her long-term recital partner, Francesca Leonardi. Dego comments: “Francesca and I have been playing together for seventeen years, more than half my life and the totality of my career. To work as a duo on a regular basis means reaching common interpretative solutions, ones that sum up each player’s qualities, and creates a great sense of mutual responsibility. What you do together somehow feels naturally complete. We decided to build this album around our very favourite Sonata, KV 454 in B-flat major, which we had been performing for many years and in which Mozart’s simplicity and flamboyance coexist in perfect harmony”.
