About

The second volume of Roman Rabinovich's complete cycle of Haydn Piano Sonatas, with each volume featuring Rabinovich's iPad drawings.

The pianist has earned critical praise for his explorations of the piano music of Haydn, which include his 42 sonata cycle at the 2018 Bath International Festival. Haydn was a prominent and prolific Austrian composer of the Classical period and composed 62 keyboard sonatas. Written over a 40 year period or so, and displaying a variety of styles, the earlier sonatas were written for harpsichord and the last for the newly developed hammer-action fortepiano.

Rabinovich's first volume of Haydn Piano Sonatas [FHR071] has received incredible cirtical acclaim:

".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)

"The first two discs are a foretaste of splendours to come, with his singing cantabile in the adagio to the C major Sonata No 36 and beguiling virtuosity in Haydn's brilliantly entertaining presto and prestissimo finales" (Hugh Canning, The Sunday Times)

"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)

Reviews

September 2021

The elegance and liveliness of Rabinovich’s keyboard style are, indeed, a joy to listen to, and his unfailing musicality and inventiveness allows him to penetrate to the expressive heart of Haydn’s world. Altogether, a valuable addition to the Haydn sonatas discography.

March/April 2022

The combination of Rabinovich’s lively, witty performances and the gorgeous sound of his piano send most of these performance right to the top of list. He makes the piano seem just right even for the earliest sonatas and necessary for the later ones.

August 2021

He uses the full range of dynamics and voicings available from his Steinway, embellishing freely (and not only in reprises) and playing Haydn at his own game. You almost hear him chuckling along with Haydn’s cheekiness as he goes.
