Mozart's Sonatas K. 284, 309, 310, and 311 represent a pinnacle of the composer's creative brilliance. In Sonata K. 284, often referred to as the "Duernitz" Mozart ventures into expansive and delightful territories, weaving intricate musical patterns in D Major that captivate listeners with its charm and sophisticated expression.
Moving to Sonata K. 309 in C Major and K. 310 in A Minor, Mozart delves into a realm of profound emotional depth. The C Major sonata is marked by its lyricism and graceful melodies, while the A Minor counterpart showcases Mozart's ability to evoke intense and dramatic moods, creating a piece that resonates with emotional complexity.
Concluding with Sonata K. 311 in D Major, Mozart offers a composition that balances spirited elegance and technical brilliance. This sonata, with its delightful and lively character, stands as a testament to Mozart's ability to infuse his works with both refinement and exuberance.
Collectively, these sonatas showcase Mozart's mastery in combining expressive richness with classical precision. Each piece unfolds as a testament to his unparalleled skill in navigating the complexities of emotion, form, and innovation, leaving an enduring legacy in the realm of classical piano literature.

Giuseppe Greco, born in 1990, is a pianist of remarkable prowess. With a degree earned at 15, he garnered top honors and distinctions under the tutelage of V. De Filpo. Recognized for his warm and full sound, Greco's technical brilliance, praised by Bruno Canino, transcends mere virtuosity, consistently enhancing the expressive depth and meaning of the music he interprets. A laureate of prestigious competitions, Greco continues to captivate audiences with his profound artistry and dedicated contributions to classical music.

The comprehensive recording of the complete sonatas was meticulously crafted by engineer Alessandro Simonetto, employing two pairs of Bruel & Kjaer microphones and Prism Sound pres/converters. This approach ensures a high-quality and faithful representation of the nuanced performances.
