Gary Cooper/Rachel Podger: Mozart
4 STARS
Journey’s end for this award-winning series of Mozart’s keyboard-violin duos, dispatched on period instruments with kaleidoscopic élan by Cooper and Podger. A cello chips in for the sonatas of 1764; ingratiating trifles from the eight-year-old composer.
Later variation sets are equally lightweight, though these inspired players know just how to bring out their secret melancholy along with their charm.
