Mozart’s violin sonatas span his entire career-the early ones are billed as piano sonatas with optional violin accompaniment-and they develop over the years into the first triumphs of the modern genre. Alina Ibragimova and Cédric Tiberghien have been enthralling audiences worldwide with these works, and now the first instalment is available as a highly desirable 2-for-1 album.
