Pianist Orli Shaham's
MidWeek Mozart
Each Wednesday, Ms. Shaham brings you an exclusive: a movement of a Mozart sonata from her forthcoming recording
As many of us are spending a lot of time at home, pianist Orli Shaham shares a special treat: a sneak preview of a track from her forthcoming album of Mozart piano sonatas. Orli Shaham's MidWeek Mozart gives you exclusive access to a different movement of a Mozart piano sonata, available for a whole week, FREE! Get your weekly dose of Mozart each Wednesday, and enjoy it until the following Wednesday when it will be replaced by the next installment, at OrliShahamMozart.com. MidWeek Mozart continues this week with Sonata No.3, K.281, 1st movement.
Last summer pianist Orli Shaham recorded 12 of Mozart’s pianos sonatas at historic Mechanics Hall in Worcester, MA. Volume 1, the first of a five-CD series of the complete Mozart piano sonatas, will be released later this year on Canary Classics. This album includes Piano Sonata No. 3, K. 281, Piano Sonata No. 13, K. 333, and Piano Sonata No. 17, K. 570; all in Bb major. Ms. Shaham completes the recording project this summer, and releases the entire set of Mozart’s piano sonatas in 2021.
Ms. Shaham's multi-year Mozart recording project began last autumn with the release of her concertos album with St. Louis Symphony Orchestra, David Robertson conducting. The CD (Canary Classics CC18) has received accolades far and wide. International Piano called it "an outstanding disc of Mozart piano concertos" and Wisconsin Public Radio exclaimed, “The beauty, technical virtuosity and deftness with which Shaham, Robertson and the orchestra play bring out the best in the music.”
