About

Boasting a musical partnership of over 15 years, during which they have played in concerts throughout the world (recently at the Wigmore Hall in London and the Suntory Hall in Tokyo), the violinist Sayaka Shoji and the pianist Gianluca Cascioli have already recorded the complete violin and piano sonatas by Beethoven on modern instruments (Deutsche Grammophon, 4CDs, 2010-15). After adopting a "historically informed" outlook that has matured through long study and important collaborations, they now tackle the Mozart sonatas with an approach that begins with their choice of instruments: the extraordinary Stradivarius 'Recamier' mounted with gut strings and a Paul McNulty fortepiano (copy of Anton Walter) already used by Cascioli on his recent Beethoven recital ("Simply some of the most effervescent, creative and invigorating piano-playing I have heard in a long time." - International Piano). This release, which initiates a four-album cycle, marks the beginning of Shoji's collaboration with Arcana.
