Haydn: Piano Sonatas, Vol.2 / Hamelin
Label: Hyperion Catalog: CDA67710 Format: CD Marc-André Hamelin: pianoJoseph Haydn (1732–1809): Disc 1 - Piano Sonata in E major HOB XVI:31 / Piano Sonata in D major HOB XVI:42 / Piano Sonata in C major HOB XVI:35 / Piano Sonata in E minor HOB XVI:34 / Piano Sonata in A major HOB XVI:26 / Fantasia (Capriccio) in C major HOB XVII:4 Marc-André Hamelin’s first set of Haydn Piano Sonatas was Hyperion’s best-selling release of 2007, and had the critics jostling to acclaim his performances in the highest terms, in particular his expression of the ‘physical exhilaration of Haydn’s playful inspiration in a way unmatched by any pianist past or present’. His second volume, released in a year where new Haydn recordings are prominent, should surely match the critical and commercial success of the first. Price: $19.98 |
