Sonate Für Klavier C-dur KV 330 / Menuett D-dur Kv 355 , Rondo D-dur Kv 485 , Fantasie D-moll Kv 397

Released in 1953, this 10-inch long-playing record was part of Deutsche Grammophon's early foray into the microgroove format. It showcases the performances of the Swiss pianist Carl Seemann, a musician deeply respected for his disciplined, objective approach to the classical canon. The selection features a curated set of Mozart’s keyboard works, reflecting the mid-century European recording philosophy that favored clarity, structural integrity, and a refined, transparent tone over Romantic interpretation.

The recording captures Seemann during a period where he was a central figure for Deutsche Grammophon, helping to establish the label's reputation for high-fidelity technical precision in the post-war era. The sleeve design adheres to the minimalist, typographic aesthetic typical of early 1950s DG releases, prioritizing the composer and performer names. These recordings were received by critics of the time as essential, balanced interpretations that provided listeners with a clean, unvarnished window into Mozart’s compositional genius.
