Haydn Piano Sonatas

John Lill

 


"The wait has been worth it... vividly contrasted, honest, gently tapering and resoloute"

International Record Review
  "Most sterling of British pianists... his impeccable technique and musicianship make a superb case for a choice of works that, significantly, stresses the more speculative side of Haydn's nature... in his hands the finale is an effervescent tour de force"

The Gramophone
 
       

Following on from his critically acclaimed account of Brahms and Schumann on Signum Classics, the UK's most respected pianist, John Lill, returns to take the listener on a journey through the many moods of Haydn, in brilliant performances of some composer's most intriguing works for the keyboard.

"He is one of the greatest Pianists alive today. Across the board, I do not know another pianist who could hold a candle to this magisterial keyboard player. Unsurpassed playing. An intellectual giant and a master craftsman."

Michael Tumelty, The Glasgow Herald, October 2004
