One of the big gaps in my collection is the fact that I don't -- or rather I didn't until now -- have recordings of Haydn's Piano Sonatas so I bought this set which has Christine Schornsheim playing harpischord, clavichord and fortepiano; on listening to a small selection of performances I must say that this is a very interesting set.

Re: Recent Purchases
There is some very lovely music to enjoy here. One thing that I like about this set is that as the music moves along so does the technology i.e. a harpsichord, clavicord and fortepiano are used for relevant time periods. One regret that I have is that I do not speak German as disc 14 contains interviews with the artist and I am sure that I am missing out on bucketfulls of insight. I am positive that you will enjoy that set Seán.Seán wrote:
