…Claire-Marie Le Guay approaches the notes with a rewarding sense of responsibility; the opening Allegro of K570 is a case in point. Often it is played too fast but Le Guay chooses a speed that elevates the passagework above the merely sequential, and details register within a tempo that propels the music without haste. A similar sensitivity to content is heard in the Adagio that begins K282. Its ‘warmth and romantic ardour’ (Misha Donat) are tellingly exposed though stylistic boundaries are not breached.
