"The third volume of Peter Donohoe’s acclaimed survey of Mozart’s Piano Sonatas for SOMM Recordings focuses on three works from the second half of the 1780s – including his last exercise in the form, Sonata No.18 (K576) – together with two exquisite miniatures.

Although likely composed as teaching materials, the sibling Sonatas Nos.10 (K330) and 11 (K331) eloquently push their intended student-players with considerable technical challenges that point to Mozart’s own development as a composer. This new release follows critical acclaim for Volume 1 (SOMMCD 0191) including the accolades of MusicWeb International’s Recording of the Year and BBC Music Magazine’s Recording of the Month which declared: “It was high time someone blew the cobwebs off this still under-appreciated repertoire, and Donohoe is clearly the person to do it”.

Musical Opinion described Donohoe in Volume 2 (SOMMCD 0198) as “an ideal interpreter”, adding “no finer accounts of these still neglected masterpieces will have been offered to the public”."
