CD Reviews

Glorious sound.

(5 out of 5 stars)

"I think this was one of the first Haydn's sonatas recordings where the fortepiano was used.(Actually two of them;a 1798 Viennese Rosenberger and a 1801 English Broadwood.)The pianist,Richard Burnett,founded Finchcocks Museum,where this disc was recorded in l979;the museum houses an excellent collection of keyboard instruments.Burnett's playing is very fresh,especially in the first two sonatas,where he uses the Rosenberger with startling effect;the sound is glorious.The Broadwood used in the other two pieces sounds more mysterious,the notes emanating from the instrument in a 'halo' of sound.The use of two very different instruments was a felicitous one.Highly recommended."
