Following the success of the first concert in his Mozart Odyssey at the Wigmore Hall, Francesco performs the same programme at the Concertgebouw, Amsterdam on 21 March 2016. Piemontesi’s survey of Mozart’s Piano Sonatas and solo keyboard works begins with Fantasia No.3 in D minor, K.397/385g, Piano Sonata No.6 in D major, K.284, Rondo in A minor, K.511 and Piano Sonata No.11 in A major, K.331.
Of the recital in London, Seen and Heard International wrote: “This programme, intelligently constructed, and equally intelligently performed, satisfied from beginning to end.” And Classical Source commented: “The start of the A-minor Rondo…gave an idea of Piemontesi’s ability to charge the smallest inflection with meaning, and his perception of the elaborations as both integral and insubstantial arose from playing of the greatest sophistication… To witness the economy of Piemontesi’s technique as well as his precise pedalling was a masterclass in the Classical style.”
