A brilliant feat is presented by award-winning pianist Gesa Lücker on her debut disc with GENUIN classics. From the high-spirited beginning of Mozart’s G major sonata from 1775 all the way to the wild chase in the final movement of Prokofiev's 1944 Sonata No. 8, listeners are treated to a recital wholly of a piece which fully deserves to be heard in one sitting. It is not only the intensity and beauty of tone which Lücker calls forth from every phrase, it is also her compelling sense of dramaturgy in having the smaller Mozart piece form a bridge between the two larger works. Her playing on this CD appeals to the heart and the mind, to the emotions and intellect of listeners. The excitement of a live performance shines through!
