This is the third in the ongoing Mozart sonata series from Alina Ibragimova and Cédric Tiberghien, and once again it is hard to imagine a better partnership. Each of the six works in this double CD programme is a pure delight, with exquisite playing from these world-class performers – Ibragimova fleet and lithe, Tiberghien playfully delicate. As before, they mix early examples – two written when Mozart was a precocious 10-year-old (G major K27 and B flat major K31) – with four from his later life, including F major K547, his final violin sonata, which the penurious composer hoped would be a money-spinner but poignantly was not published in his lifetime.
