Alfred Brendel - Haydn: Pno Sons Hob.Xvii

These Haydn offerings (with the exception of Hob. XVI/49 which was recorded analogue) were among Alfred Brendel's first digital recordings for Philips and still remain among his most satisfying. Brendel's performances are aristocratic, yet never at the expense of Haydn's lighter and often humorous nature. All the repeats are observed and the sound- especially for early digital- is audiophile quality. A set all Haydn fans are guaranteed to enjoy. '.
