WOLFGANG AMADEUS MOZART Sonatas for fortepiano and violin K 376, 377, 380, 403 Andrew Manze, Richard Egarr

Composed after he settled in Vienna, Mozart’s “Auernhammer” sonatas, K.376, 377 and 380, are the first fruits of his freedom from Salzburg serfdom and a sign of his new, revolutionary spirit. Multiple award-winners Andrew Manze (violin) and Richard Egarr (fortepiano) capture the sense of orchestral colour and concerto-style interplay which runs through these works. A rarely-heard fragment, K.403, is included as a delightful bonus.Andrew Manze plays a violin by Joseph Gagliano, Naples, 1782. Richard Egarr plays a harpsichord by Johann Zahler, Brünn (Brno), 1800.
