Hidden Voices, Mozart Piano Sonatas, Volume III is the latest album by pianist Gil Sullivan.  Exclusively available in Stereo Pure DSD 256 from NativeDSD, this is his 3rd DSD album on the Hunnia Records label.

Having listened for over half a century to tens of thousands of recordings of Mozart’s music, be it piano music, string quartets, symphonies, operas, et al, I have been hugely energized by these recordings. Not because they are so great, but because they are often so terrible!

The subterranean – often chromatic voices in Mozart’s music reveal him demonstrably as a composer far greater than merely a gifted melodist, and this is why I have called this series of recordings of the complete Mozart Piano Sonatas – Hidden Voices.

Any ten fingers of almost any pianist can play these relatively simple notes, that however require an altogether different pianist to metamorphose them into music. Since experiencing Mozart primarily as a youngster playing my first sonatas and concertos, I immediately felt there were deeper layers than just the melodic oil slick floating at the surface, so have been steadfastly drilling down to the nub of Mozart’s music throughout my long career as a concert performer.
