 | from Spohr & Onslow: Piano Sonatas (CDA67947) 1 Allegro maestoso [9'09] 30 minutes 6 seconds 4 tracks2 Menuetto: Allegro – Trio [5'37] 3 Andante con variazioni [9'27] 4 Pastorale: Allegretto [5'53]  BBC Music Magazine‘Spohr's piano sonata is rarely heard and there is much to commend in it … a work that is lyrically and melodically dominated throughout, and with some ravishing modulations among its highlights ... ‘Shelley, who as a conductor has recorded all of Spohr's symphonies, plays this music masterfully. Hyperion's recording is faultless. What's not to like?’ (Fanfare, USA) |
