Klaviersonaten: D-Dur, Kv 284 "Dürnitz-Sonate" / B-Dur, Kv 333 / C-Dur, Kv 279

This recording is part of the esteemed series of Mozart piano sonatas recorded by the Austrian pianist Ingrid Haebler for the Philips label during the 1960s and 1970s. Released under the catalog number 802 827 LY, this disc captures Haebler’s refined, lyrical approach to the Classical repertoire. Her cycle is widely regarded by musicologists and critics as a benchmark for its stylistic clarity, understated grace, and faithful adherence to the nuances of Mozart’s notation, offering a sophisticated alternative to the more dramatic interpretations common in the mid-twentieth century.

The sonatas featured, including the K. 284 'Dürnitz-Sonate', were composed during Mozart’s earlier period of development. K. 284 reflects the influence of the Mannheim school, while K. 333 is celebrated for its virtuosic, concerto-like qualities. Ingrid Haebler was selected by Philips to record the complete sonatas due to her reputation as a specialist in the Viennese tradition. Her work on this project was received with consistent acclaim for her pristine touch and structural integrity, solidifying the label's reputation for high-fidelity classical releases during the height of the vinyl era.
