Richard Fuller is an American born and trained musician who has become a specialist in performing Viennese classics on a fortepiano. He has honed his craft well, as these delightful CDs document. Fuller plays a replica of one of Mozart's favorite instruments, that made by Anton Walter. One of the most remarkable qualities of Fuller's playing is his range of tonality. He demonstrates that while the dynamic range of the modern piano is greater, the 18th-century fortepiano can be a more subtly varied sounding instrument. In the variations of K 331, Fuller creates an uncanny illusion of differing registers, as might be found on a harpsichord. Fuller's love and respect for the grand genius of Mozart is expressed in a tender, rubato-inflected reading of the glorious Rondo in A Minor, and a magisterial performance of the courtly Sonata in B flat. His tempos are, generally, moderately paced, allowing for an easy and natural delineation of Mozartean texture, both harmonic and melodic. There are tons of Mozart keyboard recordings out there, but this one stands out as especially satisfying.
