Piano of Enlightenment

Piano of Enlightenment: Piano pieces by Galuppi, C.P.E. Bach, Mozart and Haydn.

“The pianist Edna Stern assembles Mozart, Galuppi, Haydn, C.P.E. Bach, composers of luminous sounds, in her interpretation emphasizing the play of shadow and light. The sound, all in lightness, draws one's attention particularly to the deep and transcendent aspect of the chosen pieces. How beautiful are those Galuppi sonatas, with their arpeggios running naturally under the fingers! The Variations Ah! Vous dirai-je maman, retain a childish hue in a playing full of elasticity. The subtle approach of Edna Stern, enlightens the rich and complex polyphony of J.S. Bach's Fantasy in C minor, and the two works by Haydn and C.P.E Bach's Fantasy complete this recording of impeccable elegance.”
