The much anticipated second volume of Peter Donohoes complete survey of Mozarts Piano Sonatas for SOMM Recordings focuses on three sonatas produced during the composers ill-fated journey to Paris in 1777. This new release follows remarkable critical acclaim for Volume 1 (SOMMCD 0191) including the accolade of BBC Music Magazines Recording of the Month which declared: It was high time someone blew the cobwebs off this still under-appreciated repertoire, and Donohoe is clearly the person to do it. Volume 2 promises more revealing performances from Donohoe, applauded in Gramophones review of Volume 1 for demonstrating a personal involvement that is as touching as it is fascinating and finely considered.
