Good HaydnInterpretations
on: June 11, 2005, 11:06:20 PM
hello

I'd like to know some good haydn interpreters.
his sonatas and connected with this, his kind of joking, ironic but extreme emotional style has impressed me very much in the last time

Moreover I play some movements of him in recent times...

I've already listened to Andsnes, Jando (The Naxos Label Pianist) and a bit Gould.

 i'm interested in your recomments ... maybe Horowitz or Pogorelich? ... I have to say, that i like Pogorelich very much ... but his chopin recordings. A hint for a good haydn repertoire would please me, too.
I think Jando is a bit too undifferent (the French would say). And Gould ... admittedly i have to say that i don't like his view on the 'wiener classic'
Andsnes seems to be not bad ... but not great either.

Excuse my English ... Claas

 Gould, Richter, Brendel, and Kalish are supreme Haydn players in my book.
