New Album release

After the first volume entirely dedicated to Mozart (CHAN 20233) designed around the Fantasy in C minor KV 475, in this second work (CHAN 20350) Federico Colli has further deepened his knowledge of the much-loved composer from Salzburg, and the key work of the album is certainly the Sonata in A major KV 331.
