Mozart: Piano Sonatas Vol. 3
I like some volumes of Alicia de Larrocha's Mozart sonatas very much and others a lot less. It probably has to do with my own mood rather than the pianist's, especially since the performances collected on this disc come from three separate recording sessions. Nevertheless, the piano playing on this disc, admirable as it is, failed to move me. De Larrocha didn't stir my emotions with the grief-stricken music of K. 310, or the exquisite slow movement of K. 330. Maybe she's too subtle for me.--Leslie Gerber
