Catherine Mackintosh and Geoffrey Govier met at the Royal College of Music and in the 1980s formed Duo Amadè specifically to perform the charming and intimate duo sonatas by Mozart, often with readings from Mozart’s family letters. In 2006 they played the whole cycle at the Royal College of Music and are now intent upon recording the works of disc.
Volume 1 covers the sonatas KV 301, KV 302 and KV 303, composed at Mannhein in 1778, and couple them with two sets of variations, KV 359 and KV 360, based on French popular tunes. Catherine Mackintosh is part of The Purcell Quartet who have been recording for Chandos for many years and she only recently stepped down as leader of the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment. Geoffrey Govier is a renowned fortepianist, teacher and editor. Both play fine period instruments, the violin dating from 1703 while the fortepiano is made by Christopher Clare after an instrument by Anton Walter.
