This PASSACAILLE recording introduces us to Joseph Haydn’s late piano works, which are characterized by his experiences with the tonal possibilities of English fortepianos and his encounters with remarkable pianists such as Therese Jansen. The exquisite “English” sonatas, in which technical brilliance meets profound musicality of masterly maturity, are well worth discovering. Michel Kiener takes us on a journey through the life and music of this remarkable composer and reveals the power of musical expression in these works.
