Mozart’s piano sonatas reveal an extraordinary range of character, from effortless lyricism to profound emotional intensity. In the third volume of his complete survey, pianist Jae-Hyuck Cho performs three contrasting sonatas which form an arc from light into shadow, before emerging into light once more. Opening with the luminous Sonata in C major, K. 330, the programme moves to the dramatic A minor Sonata, K. 310, one of Mozart's most emotionally charged keyboard works, before concluding with the freshness and wit of the G major Sonata, K. 283. Together, these three sonatas reveal Mozart’s ability to combine elegance, theatrical instinct and deep humanity.

Cho approaches these works with a distinctly vocal perspective, shaping each phrase as though sung and drawing on Mozart’s close relationship with opera. The result is a performance of warmth, clarity and expressive freedom that allows each sonata’s individual voice to emerge while revealing the broader narrative that connects them. This third instalment continues a thoughtfully conceived cycle that places musical character and storytelling at its heart.
