Angela Hewitt has been better known for Bach than anything else, but she has increasingly turned to Mozart in later life, recording the piano concertos and now a cycle of the complete piano sonatas, of which this is the second volume. Outwardly, there is something a bit Bachian about her Mozart; she avoids the pedals, her phrasing is direct and foursquare, and she plays the left-hand lines with a clarity that brings out the logic of the counterpoint. However, the beauties of these performances lie in the details, many of which are justified in Hewitt's own extensive notes. Part of her aim is to establish the earlier Mozart sonatas as major works, and she succeeds in this. Although Hewitt plays a modern piano, there are historical details, especially in this volume of sonatas, the first ones in which Mozart stepped fully into pianism. Sample the uncanny, simmering shades of the Fantasia in D minor, D. 397. The variation finale of the Piano Sonata in A major, K. 331, is also exceptionally lively and varied. Hewitt is alert to the influences on these sonatas from other genres, and she is aware of the fecund imagination Mozart brought even to small details. The Hyperion label does well with the sound, leaving its usual English venues for the Kulturstiftung Marienmünster foundation building in Germany. Satisfying, elegant Mozart with much to chew on, and one awaits with pleasure the remainder of Hewitt's series.
