Mozart: Complete Piano Sonatas Volumes 5 & 6 (CD Review)
[…] us, and precautions – especially vaccinations – are still particularly prudent), it is worth noting that this recording project is yet another that was undertaken under lockdown precautions. Shaham recorded alone onstage in Mechanics Hall in Worcester, MA, on a modern Steinway piano. The recording producer and editor for the series is the veteran Erica Brenner, who worked remotely from Cleveland, OH. The recording engineer for the beginning of the sessions was the late Michael Bishop (1951-2021), whom audiophiles may recognize as the engineer responsible for many of those spectacular Telarc recordings of days gone by. Following the loss of Bishop, engineering duties were taken over by Robert Friedrich, himself a top-rate engineer. Rest assured that Ms. Shaham – and your ears – have been afforded some truly excellent sonics.

For this production, the orchestra was at the end of the space, the action in the centre of the room with the audience on three sides.
