Josep Colom, piano

A living legend from the Spanish piano scene, in this album Josep Colom presents Mozart’s music in a radical way: with Colom’s own interludes between movements that play with motifs or anticipate ideas, new ornamentation, transformations, all in all evoking the art of improvisation from the time of Mozart, this album brings four piano sonatas from the Austrian composer as never before heard. From the last of his piano sonatas, the full of counterpoint D major K. 576, to the dramatic C minor K. 457 Sonata, going though the delightful B flat major sonata K. 333 and the “easy” C major sonata K. 545, Josep Colom reaches with this album new heights, in a fascinating reading of Mozart’s masterpieces.
