Seemingly out of nowhere comes a complete recording using original instruments of Mozart’s piano concertos that knocks the competition out of the box. It is extraordinarily fresh and alive, up on all the latest musicological evidence without ever making it sound affected or stylized (just stylish!), recorded in beautiful clear sound, and featuring an extraordinary pianist named Viviana Sofronitsky whose father was the great Russian virtuoso Vladimir Sofronitsky...

The first thing to say that this is a notable achievement by all concerned. To perform and record all Mozart’s piano concertos "in one go" as it were, is a considerable task and the results are very refreshing and remarkably consistent throughout. Listening to this collection has been very enjoyable, particularly with such a consistent standard. I do commend this set to all interested in hearing this great music on instruments of Mozart’s period and hope that we may have the opportunity to hear these fine performers in this country at some stage soon!...

...the joyful pianofortist is of first order, with an extremely refined choice of the instrument: a sublime McNulty copy of a Walter pianoforte from 1795. The early works are interpreted on a harpsichord, quite as beautifully. Viviana Sofronitzki (the daughter of great Vladimir...), who apparently shares her life between Germany and Canada, had her piano training in Moscow, followed by the practice of the old instruments in the United States, Toronto (Canada) and The Hague (Holland). This familiarity with the instruments is well noticed when Viviana Sofronitzki performs on her pianoforte with full capacity. A swift, fluid, detached and clearly articulated way of playing is away from any romantic temptation... the complete set (integral) is of an infallible logic, with discrete ornamentations and right cadences... A beautiful musical achievement!...
