This recording features a Yamaha CFX grand piano, serial number 6295700.
Interpretation
Jean-Efflam Bavouzet includes a cadenza for Sonata No. 30 (Hob. XVI: 19) written by Zoltán Kocsis, which subtly darkens the otherwise serene atmosphere of the Andante.
Interpretation
Pianist Jean-Efflam Bavouzet discovered an unpublished, crossed-out cadenza in Haydn's autograph manuscript for the F minor Variations, which is included as an appendix on this disc.
Interpretation
Pianist Jean-Efflam Bavouzet chose not to present Haydn's sonatas in chronological order, instead creating "bouquets" of works that are coherent and complementary.
