Leonid Hambro - Mozart Sonata In A Major K 331 With Variations Haydn Sonata No 1 In E Flat Major Sonata No 7 In D Major

Review by Lovella Mogere

Leonid Hambro's performance of Mozart Sonata In A Major K 331 with Variations, Haydn Sonata No 1 In E Flat Major and Sonata No 7 In D Major is a masterful display of classical piano playing. Hambro's technical skill and musical sensitivity are evident throughout the album, as he navigates the intricate melodies and complex harmonies of these timeless compositions.

The Mozart Sonata, with its famous "Rondo alla Turca" finale, is a particular highlight of the album. Hambro's interpretation of this piece captures the playful and whimsical spirit of Mozart's music, while also showcasing his own virtuosity as a pianist. The variations on the theme are executed with precision and nuance, adding depth and complexity to the already rich composition.

The two Haydn sonatas are equally impressive, with Hambro demonstrating a deep understanding of the composer's style and intent. The E Flat Major sonata is a graceful and elegant work, with Hambro's light touch and delicate phrasing perfectly capturing the spirit of the music. The D Major sonata, on the other hand, is a more dramatic and intense piece, with Hambro's powerful playing bringing out the full range of emotions in the music.
