Spanning the length of his mature career and documenting stylistic reinvention as well as emotional change, Mozart's piano sonatas and variations occupy a fundamental position within the keyboard repertory. Here they are performed by one of the composer's best-known interpreters; crisp in detail and wide-ranging in mood, Daniel Barenboim's readings are among the most lauded in recording history. As well as the sonatas and variations Warners have added a selection of Rondos and Minuets and other piano works

"His crispness of detail and clarity of partwriting and texture are everywhere admirable, his sheer nimbleness and dexterity are often a joy, and there is no suspicion that he is ever using precision or lapidary elegance to miniaturize or prettify the music: there is plenty of fire and expressiveness here, a real comprehension of the stature of such big works as the Fantasia and Sonata, K475 and 457, and a sustained concentration in some of the more profound slow movements that gives a fine sense both of bar-by-bar discovery and of a measured unfolding, unhurried progress towards a clearly perceived destination." (Gramophone)
