Haydn: Sonata Hob. XVI/50

on: January 22, 2006, 11:18:18 AM

What do you think about Haydn's Sonata C major, Hob/50? I like this sonata very much. I have recordings of Brendel, Schiff and Carmen Piazzini.

For who likes "virtuosism", is the Haydn's second best sonata. Best is 52/62. I like 50 very much. About versions:

Good: Sviatoslav Richter, Glenn Gould, myself

Bad: Lang Lang

I wonder if Staier has a record of that Sonata.
