Sonatas Volume Four: Sonata In D, K.284; Sonata In G, K.283; Sonata In C, K.330; Sonata In F, K.280

Released in 1985 by London Records, this installment is part of András Schiff’s definitive cycle of the complete Mozart piano sonatas. Recorded between 1980 and 1984, the project was a significant milestone in Schiff's early career, establishing him as a preeminent interpreter of the Classical repertoire. The collection was produced during a period when the Hungarian-born pianist was gaining international acclaim for his scholarly yet lyrical approach to the Viennese masters.

The recording is noted for Schiff's crisp, transparent articulation and his meticulous attention to the stylistic nuances of the 18th century. By avoiding the heavy, Romanticized phrasing often applied to Mozart in earlier decades, Schiff aimed to capture the wit, clarity, and emotional depth inherent in the original scores. Critics and listeners alike received the set with praise, frequently citing its technical precision and the intimate, balanced sound engineering achieved by the London/Decca production team.
