Review by Dan Hughes

Piano Sonatas Vol. 1 by Mozart – A Witty Spin on Classical Gold If you’ve ever wondered what happens when a legendary composer, a stellar pianist, and Wigmore Hall Live get together, the answer is Piano Sonatas Vol. 1. Released in 2013, this album feels like stepping into a time machine that zaps you straight back to the 18th century—but with Christian Blackshaw’s fingers doing all the driving. Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart composed these masterpieces, but it’s Blackshaw who brings them alive like your favorite cup of coffee on a Monday morning. Let’s cut to the chase: there are about as many tracks here as there are buttons on my remote control (seriously, why do they make those things so complicated?). But two stand out like glitter at a garage sale—the Allegro moderato from Piano Sonata No. 8 in D Major, K.311, and the hauntingly beautiful Andante cantabile con espressione. The Allegro moderato kicks off with an energy that makes me want to grab my imaginary powdered wig and waltz around the room. It’s playful yet polished, like Mozart just popped by for tea and decided to show off without making it weird. The piece has this sneaky way of building momentum; one moment you’re tapping your foot, and the next thing you know, you're air-conducting like a lunatic. Trust me, I caught myself mid-flail more than once while listening. Then there’s the Andante cantabile con espressione—a total mood setter. This track hits different. Like, "I need to sit down and ponder life" kind of different. There’s something almost heartbreaking about its simplicity, as if Mozart whispered his secrets directly into the keys. Christian Blackshaw plays it with such sensitivity that even my cat stopped chasing shadows and gave it the respect it deserved. Now, let’s talk credits because behind every great album is a team working harder than elves before Christmas. John Gilhooly directed this baby like a maestro wrangling musicians, while engineer Steve Portnoi made sure everything sounded smoother than butter on hot toast. Liner notes? Gavin Plumley nailed ‘em. Photography? Benjamin Ealovega snapped pics prettier than most Instagram feeds. And Jeremy Hayes produced the whole shebang like a boss. Hats off to everyone involved! So, where does that leave us? Well, Piano Sonatas Vol. 1 isn’t just another classical album—it’s a reminder that music can still feel fresh centuries later. Listening to it felt like rediscovering an old friend who somehow got cooler with age. Who knew Mozart could vibe with modern ears so effortlessly? Final thought: If Mozart were alive today, he’d probably be dropping beats on TikTok. But until then, we’ll settle for Christian Blackshaw keeping his genius alive—one sonata at a time. Now excuse me while I go practice looking sophisticated with a teacup in hand.

Interesting fact about Album

Did you know? The album *Piano Sonatas Vol. 1* by Christian Blackshaw, released in 2013, brings Mozart’s genius to life on a modern stage. It was recorded live at London's Wigmore Hall, a venue famous for its incredible acoustics. What makes it even cooler? The album includes some of Mozart’s earliest piano sonatas, like the lively *Piano Sonata No. 1 in C Major*, alongside more mature works. Each piece is performed with such precision and emotion that it feels like you’re sitting right there in the hall. Plus, the recording engineer, Steve Portnoi, did an amazing job capturing every delicate note—proof that teamwork truly makes the music dream work!
