About

Mozart’s two piano quartets are both masterpieces and among the greatest chamber works in the repertoire. The Rondo concertante is arranged from the last movement of the piano sonata K333, which unusually has a cadenza passage, which lead pianist Dejan Lazić to make a version for piano and orchestra.

On this recording a version for piano quintet brings the music in another fresh guise and you’d be hard pressed to know it wasn’t by Mozart himself.

Lazić is joined by friends he has performed with for years but this is actually his first recording of chamber music in a long recording career. The result is joyful, intimate music making, of the sort only musicians who have a lifetime of performing together can achieve.

Christmas 2020

Lazic likes to inflect this or that gorgeous phrase a little within the context of the main tempo of the moment, but he does it with an instinctive musicianship that disarms resistance.

March/April 2021

...the draw here is the rhythmically lively, deft playing by all the members of the quartet.

November 2020

True chamber music-making: a conversation between friends in the purest sense. Only a balance that fractionally favours piano over the strings mars the palpable sense of give and take between these four musicians – and that’s far from Lazic´’s fault, as he demonstrates throughout these performances a remarkable fidelity to Mozart’s markings and is more than capable of fining down his sound to a genuine pianissimo.
