The Art of Sayaka Soji Posted by Steve Luciani on April 7, 2025, 4:44 pm Wasn't familiar with Ms. Soji until I read Stephen Greenbank's review of her Mozart violin sonatas, accompanied by Gianluca Cascioli. This led me to stream her earlier Beethoven sonata cycle with the same partner. Also inspired performances, IMHO. The real find for me, though, was a 2014 recital of Mozart, Schubert and Brahms sonatas accompanied by Menachem Pressler, all exquisitely performed by both artists. Pressler was still amazing, even at age 91.
