This review is from: Haydn: Concertos pour piano (Audio CD)

Having heard these Haydn Concerti done on both harpsichord and piano (and having played one of them) over the years, my ears grew tired of the "Jane Austenesque" spinet sound of the Andreas Staier's "romantic era" pianoforte.As charming an idea it is to hear a "real" pianoforte in order to recreate how audiences of Haydn's time would have heard things,all I can say is "Thank God that the instrument progressed to where it is today!" .Staier's technique leaves much to be desired on this instrument.The sound falls dead-away and gets very annoying after a while.Not recommended.

if Vladimir Horrowitz liked visiting Studio 54, surely Larry Levan would have loved this one, especially the opening track, which is true classic funky stuff - outstandingly fresh and sprightly!!
