Piano Sonatas Nos. 33, 35, 47, 50, 61

In this third volume devoted to Haydn, Alain Planès offers a broad selection of the composer’s output. From the experimental, sometimes anguished pieces of the Sturm und Drang period, through the refined and witty galanterie of the 1780s, to the visionary masterpiece of Sonata no.61, already Schubertian in colour, he brings out to the full Haydn’s indefatigable spirit of adventure and infinite resources.
