Haydn: 6 Sonaten Für Fürst Nikolaus Esterházy Op. 13 – Andrea Carcano

Intimate diary of the composer, Haydn’s sonatas transfer multitudes of affects and feelings onto the page that poured from the mind and heart of the author directly onto the page and from there onto the keyboard. Far from the almost experimental research of quartets as well as from the incessant evolution operated in symphonies, Haydn’s sonatas are nevertheless a small introspective monument that allow us to deeply understand the soul of one of the greatest composers of the second half of the eighteenth century . Andrea Carcano chooses to focus his attention on the 6 sonatas composed for the Esterhazy, princes and employers of the composer, in which the author does not fail to reiterate his imagination, deep respect for his profession and if he never intends to put his performer in difficulty, he continually challenges him to pursue musical inventions which, as if from an inexhaustible source, flow incessantly on every page. A challenge that the pianist Andrea Carcano faces and solves with sobriety, taste and a style that further enhance these magnificent masterpieces of keyboard literature at the dawn of the great Beethoven revolutions.
