Rondo D-dur, KV 485 · Sonate A-dur, KV 331 · Fantasie C-moll, KV 475 / Chaconne D-moll

This Decca recording features the renowned Spanish pianist Alicia de Larrocha performing key keyboard works by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, alongside Ferruccio Busoni’s arrangement of Johann Sebastian Bach’s Chaconne in D minor. Released during the late 20th century, the album showcases de Larrocha’s celebrated interpretative precision and her long-standing commitment to the classical repertoire, which defined her international reputation as one of the preeminent pianists of the era.

The album reflects the production standards of Decca’s classical division, which aimed to capture the nuance of solo piano performances with high-fidelity clarity. By pairing Mozart’s core sonata and fantasy works with Busoni’s dense, virtuosic transcription of Bach, the record provided listeners with a balanced juxtaposition of classical structural elegance and romantic-era complexity. De Larrocha’s performance on this release was widely lauded by critics for its technical finesse and her distinctive, articulate touch.
