Haydn Keyboard Works, ... - Peter Donohoe - Audio CD (Arrives in 50 days)

This second volume of Peter Donohoe’s Haydn Keyboard Works series brings together a wide-ranging selection of sonatas, partitas, capriccios and fantasias spanning almost the composer’s entire career. From the early Partita in G major to the dramatic B minor Sonata and the late works of the 1780s, the programme traces both Haydn’s stylistic development and the evolution of the keyboard itself. Folk-inspired pieces such as the Capriccio in G major and the Fantasia in C major sit alongside sonatas of elegance, wit and expressive depth. Donohoe’s clarity, rhythmic vitality and architectural insight illuminate Haydn’s invention and craftsmanship throughout.
