Joseph Haydn was one of the most important, prolific and prominent composers of the classical period. He is often called the "Father of the Symphony" and "Father of the String Quartet" because of his important contributions to these genres, and was also instrumental in the evolution of what is commonly known as the 'sonata form'.
To mark the 200th anniversary of Haydn's death, we are highlighting his complete works on score and CD.
With the Wiener Urtext Edition scpres and the Naxos 10-disc set (with pianist Jeno Jando), Haydn enthusiasts are bound to re-discover many of the Master's pianistic gems.
'The sound of these discs is uniformly excellent with the Naxos engineers providing a rich, full tone to the piano. They avoid the dryness and close-miking that often accompanies piano recordings, allowing a natural bloom to envelop the instrument and surrounding it with a softly resonant space. The ear never tires as it is gently massaged by this acoustic warmth... Jando plays this and all of the subsequent sonatas with a refined sense of drama, greater tension in the music’s rhetorical framework, and a questing, probing musical style that facilitates the search for meaning concealed amongst this music’s many mysteries.' -- Mike Birman
