''The fourth instalment in Kristian Bezuidenhout's Mozart solo keyboard music cycle proves remarkably consistent in relation to the previous three volumes, regarding the forte pianist's superb technical acumen and musical intelligence, as well as interpretative affectations that seem more precious than stylish... At the same time, one ought to credit and (hopefully) admire Bezuidenhout's elegantly turned lefthand work in K283's finale and his assiduous tempo relationships throughout the Je suis Lindor Variations.'' --Gramophone''Specialists in early pianos come and go, but Kristian Bezuidenhout sustains an increasingly mainstream career... [his] latest disc exemplifies the range of expression and imagination that he brings to these forerunners of the modern piano. The opening notes... command the ear in a way you never thought the fortepiano could… Bezuidenhout's fascination is unflagging and contagious.'' --Philadelphia InquirerIRR Outstanding ''It's not that Bezuidenhout imbues Mozart's expressivity with anything; he discloses what has been there all along and that we've missed only because our perceptions are inured. He achieves this through a rare blend of talent, intuition, intellect and something which, for lack of a better word, might be called grace. He is steeped in Mozart's idiom and able to explicate it with the erudition of a scholar and wisdom of a sage. More than most of his colleagues, he is his instrument, exploiting its every expressive potential with ease.'' --International Record Review
