Press Quotes
“….this first volume in what will be a complete set of the Haydn piano sonatas oeuvre is both fascinating and hugely impressive…. This ‘complete’ Haydn may oust Rudolf Buchbinder’s magisterial set as the benchmark recording” (performance ***** / recording ***** BBC Music Magazine)
“Rabinovich is up there with Bavouzet in this repertoire… Delightful.” (••••• International Piano Magazine)
“Rabinovich responds to this ever-inventive music with a broad palette of tone and touch, sweetly singing in the cantabile slow movements and with fluent dexterity in the fingery fast movements….the development of the cycle as it unfolds will, without doubt, be well worth further listening” (Gramophone)
“The spread of invention in the Haydn sonatas presented here is remarkable, and Rabinovich seems to delight in each and every turn, from the harmonic delights of the first movement of No
29 to the sweet yet almost exploratory manner of CPE Bach in the Divertimento.” (Classical Music Magazine, *****)
