Larrocha in Mozart, whether the sonatas or concertos, has always attracted high praise.
“it would be a strange person indeed who did not submit to such warm-hearted, unmannered Mozart....Larrocha's pearly toned, lightly pedalled touch and the way she can taper a phrase ending to resemble musical speech (try the opening of K491) make these accounts ones to live with.” --Gramophone Magazine, February 2011
