Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart:
01. - 03. Piano Quartet No. 1 in G minor, K.478 [29'36]
04. - 06. Piano Quartet No. 2 in E-flat major, K.493 [33'19]
Paul Lewis- piano and Leopold String Trio
(Marianne Thorsen- violin; Scott Dickinson- viola; Kate Gould- cello)
Hyperion CDA67373 (recorded December 2002; CD issued 2003)
(CD-rip; flacs, booklet, cover and inlay scans)
Recording venue: Potton Hall, Suffolk
Recording engineer: Simon Eadon; Producer: Andrew Keener
If you are looking for outstanding performances on modern instruments of these wonderful works, this fits the bill admirably.
Mozart's two piano quartets are strongly contrasted - both expansive but the first being the grander and more dramatic with the second sunnier and more lighthearted. The Leopold Trio and Paul Lewis offer eloquence, flair and panache without individuals seeking to draw attention to their instrument. Paul Lewis balances admirably with the string players and their perfect intonation.
There is also the usual excellent recorded sound from Potton Hall.
