This set is quite nice.
I recently attended a ‘Keyboard Conversations’ concert given by Jeffrey Siegel during which he played several pieces by Haydn. He talked about the sixty-two piano sonatas that Haydn composed, and later that day I decided to purchase a set on Amazon. I was able to get this twelve CD set from a Marketplace seller for less than $50 new. I have listened to most of it, and I’m impressed. The piano is not ‘twangy’ as one reviewer stated. I find the sonatas and variations fascinating and a pleasure to listen to. The set is compactly packaged, and the discs are placed in envelopes with the work titles on each. This set is well worth the money, and I must say I enjoy John McCabe’s playing. In short, this set is highly recommended!
Thanks a lot. Very fine post.
Thanks
