And he himself is one of the finest Haydn stylists around. The selection here features the brawny late sonatas, with the composer utterly confident in the medium whether in the storm-swept landscape of the second movement of No. 59, the Beethovenian grandeur of the first movement of No. 60 or the playfulness of the finale of the same sonata.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBrautigam never falls into the trap of prettifying these works or underplaying their inherent wit and drama. Even today Haydn often gets short shrift when compared with Mozart, particularly in discussions of their keyboard output; these pieces are proof--if proof were needed--of his greatness. A marvellous disc, and the third volume in Brautigam's series--get this and you'll undoubtedly be back for volumes one and two.--Harriet Smith\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32642342912097,"sku":"7318590009949","price":13.94,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/products\/orig_763448_1951544_jpg.jpg?v=1705508349","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/7318590009949-complete-solo-keyboard-musicronald-brautigam","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
