About "Mozart: Violin Sonata No. 21 in E Minor, K. 304: I. Allegro" by Frank Peter Zimmermann
Zimmermann draws the E-minor Allegro taut as wire—Classical poise masking a restless, almost operatic ache. The violin's silvery line flickers between courtly grace and sudden shadow, each phrase a held breath before the next plunge. Vivid, unforced tension from Mozart's darkest sonata.
