Splendid Performances Of The Three Haydn Piano Concerti,
By
This review is from: Haydn: Piano Concertos (Audio CD)
Is Leif Ove Andsnes the greatest pianist of our time? I strongly doubt it. Yet every recording I've heard from him is replete with his brilliant technique and lyrical phrasing on the keyboard. This is yet another excellent example, which proves that he feels as comfortable playing Haydn as he does with Grieg's or Chopin's Romantic piano scores. Yet his playing isn't at all Romantic here, but more of a subtle, almost delicate, nature, which is fiery only when called for by the score. The Norwegian Chamber Orchestra offers ample support, never overshadowing Andsnes' playing. The sound quality is exceptional.

Authentic Haydn,
This review is from: Haydn: Piano Concertos (Audio CD)
These are exceptional performances, of great emotional maturity, on a par with his collection of Haydn sonatas. The majestic concerto in D is for once not taken too fast. We are much in debt to the musicality of Mr Andsnes, and the skill of the recording technicians.

sparkling haydn,
By
This review is from: Haydn: Piano Concertos (Audio CD)
Compared to Haydn's symphonies, piano sonatas and string quartets, his piano concerti are relative rarities. Athough they do not deserve to be ranked together with Mozart and Beethoven's masterpieces in the same medium, they are certainly worth hearing.On the evidence of this sparkling CD, the 3 piano concertos as heard here are shortish, tuneful and pleasant affairs. Andsnes as conductor and soloist makes the most of the works. His lively and alert pianism is a joy to the ears, as is the beautifully clear and detailed sound. This is one of those discs that you might elect to play after a tiring day when you need to relax and chill out. A treasurable collection.
