CONCERT WATCH – Orli Shaham

It was last summer that Orli Shaham began recording the complete Mozart piano sonatas. The new album is still in the works, but ever since April, she’s been offering special sneak previews. Every Wednesday, you can hear a selection from the album - available for one week only. It’s called MidWeek Mozart, and Shaham’s hoping it brings just a little more beauty into the world. Usually she shares a single movement, but all throughout July, Shaham’s making an entire sonata available for free online listening. This week’s selection is Sonata No 3 in B-flat major, a piece that Mozart wrote when he was 19, traveling a lot and encountering all sorts of new musical styles and instruments.

Orli Shaham’s recording of Mozart’s piano sonata no 3 is available for one week only. You can find a link at wqxr.org/Concerwatch.
