Mozart: Solo Keyboard Works
Keiko Shichijo
BRIDGE 9570

Fortepianist Keiko Shichijo presents a radically fresh view of Mozart's keyboard music.  Neal Peres Da Costa, Professor of Historical Performance at the Sydney Conservatorium of Music writes: "Keiko Shichijo has been inspired to reimagine a Mozart that is highly expressive, rhetorical, and even occasionally volatile." Shichijo's brilliant Mozart was recorded on an original Frère et Soeur Stein d’Augsbourg à Vienne dated 1802. Mr. Da Costa calls the instrument "absolutely ravishing in sound, with a clarity, crispness, and resonance that is ideally suited to Mozart’s piano writing."

Reviews:

"Keiko Shichijo is a true poet of the ivories. This rivals some of the best Mozart solo piano performances ever, to my mind. You owe it to yourself to hear it." - Gapplegate

"A superb interpretation of some of Mozart's most compelling works at keyboard." - International Piano
