Galuppi- Baldassare - Complete Piano Sonatas Vol. 2'

Product Description In the second of a series of 10 CD's containing Galuppi's 90 sonatas, we present a further nine of these masterpieces. All music lovers should sample these seminal works, which made Galuppi one of the greatest composers of his day; all the more strange that he should have fallen into such obscurity Review Seivewright is an enthusiastic and accomplished pianist he plays with great conviction and flair pleasant listening from first note to last a top class product the recording is beyond reproach --Classical Net There is much melodic beauty in these relatively brief and generally bipartite works the music could not have a more sophisticated or dedicated advocate. In each sonata (Seivewright) unwraps a musical gift of exquisite beauty, gently embracing and caressing the slow movements with Italianate grace and lyrical expression that border upon the romantic while the more lively sections are permeated with a delightful and appropriate bounce and spontaneity. Seivewright's gentle coaxing produces a kaleidoscopic array of dynamics and a rainbow of colors. These sonatas may never challenge the place of honor held by those of Mozart, but Seivewright pleads both an elegant and eloquent case for a re-examination of his shadowy repertoire. --Fanfare Absolutely immaculate execution matched by the clarity of the recorded sound it is difficult to imagine this particular repertoire being presented to better advantage --International Piano
