Mozart 250th Anniversary Edition, this set of 12 discs contains all the complete piano sonatas and violin sonatas, most of the works for piano duet, and several solo piano works. The recordings all date from the late '80s to early '90s and have very good sound. The solo piano works are all performed by Swiss pianist
Karl Engel, the duets are by sisters Güher and
Süher Pekinel, and the majority of the violin sonatas are performed by
Hiro Kurosaki. From the familiar Sonata Semplice, to the Sonata for Two Pianos that might make you smarter, to the charming elegance of the Violin Sonata No. 26, there is plenty here to satisfy those looking to learn in full just what
Mozart accomplished in the smaller scale sonata form.
