Music reviews of Haydn: 11 Piano Sonatas
Music Review: From the review in Gramophone
Rating: 5 Stars
"These recordings are to be counted among the best Alfred Brendel has given us. Listening to all four on CD has been a treat. The presentation of the collection is good too, and Monika Mollering's essay ('Images of Haydn') and notes on the individual sonatas and pieces are a stimulus to enhanced enjoyment of the remarkable qualities of the music. It takes a great player to do justice to its variety, its richness of expression, its wit and its sophistication of form and structure, as Mollering says. Brendel's steady illumination of Haydn is a delight. He is at once a scrupulous and a robust interpreter, setting out from a careful reading of the text to seek the most vivid projection of Haydn's ideas--and I admire especially the way he allows boldness, even daring, to play a part in the search. The playing is alive with a feeling of spontaneity and the capricious side of Haydn is served as generously as the rest of him. 'The perceptiveness and musicality of his playing may well be a revelation even to those who know that Haydn's keyboard sonatas, still shamefully neglected, are every bit as good as Mozart's', was a comment of RG's about the third disc. On the second, RF thought Brendel revealed the E minor as 'one of Haydn's very greatest sonatas'. And about the last sonata, the E flat, on the most recent issue, I said I could imagine Beethoven relishing this performance of it. In sum, marvellous music, its marvels made brilliantly manifest."
