Rudolf Buchbinder (piano) It was in Haydn's hands that the keyboard sonata developed from a simple drawing-room
divertimento to the level of a high art-form and the greatest among his sonatas have an
intellectual rigour and a dramatic sweep that were rarely equalled by Mozart, and not surpassed
until Beethoven revolutionized the form in the closing years of the eighteenth century. His
earliest sonatas were composed with the harpsichord in mind, but in later years he began
increasingly to exploit dynamic contrasts of a kind that could only be obtained on the
fortepiano. “A truly class act: to marvel at how Buchbinder powerfully chisels the chords and sends the horrendously difficult trills leaping out of the piano; how he entices graceful, filigree sounds from the music”. Westdeutsche Allgemeine |
