Mozart: The Sonata Project - Salzburg is a latest album of Yundi, which was released on 5 April 2024.[1]

Background

In this album, Yundi returns to the roots of his musical inspiration, as he was captivated by Mozart already at the age of 7.[2] Yundi hopes to take listeners on a journey through Mozart's musical landscapes, a realm of music closest to Yundi's heart, aiming for his audience to experience a similar infatuation with the "singing, colourful, human tone of the most ingenious composer".[4] To promote the album's release, Yundi has embarked on a 2024 European concert tour, YUNDI Plays Mozart The Sonata Project 1, visiting cities historically connected with Mozart, including Vienna, Paris, Munich, Frankfurt, Cologne, and Berlin.[2][5][6]

Yundi's Mozart: The Sonata Project - Salzburg received acclaim. The album is recommended by Classical FM as one of the Featured Albums of the Week,[11] and listed as the Album of the Week by Scala Radio[12] and Le Soir.[7] Christoph Vratz of German classical music magazine Concerti described Yundi's three Mozart sonatas (KV 310, 331, 457) and the Fantasy KV 475 "[...]With a very fine, precisely balanced touch with careful pedaling and, above all, thanks to the resolute rejection of anything intentionally extravagant, Yundi is able to convince. We experience a Mozart who is driven by a passion for storytelling that we also know from his stage works and major concerts. A Mozart who sometimes draws contrasts sharply, who sometimes manages a gentle transition within a few moments, who can bubble with energy and deliver a lonely eulogy. In this respect, this recording can undoubtedly be seen as a win.[...]"[10]
