Haydn:Piano Trios Hob.XV 27-30
Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
Noted musical scholar Charles Rosen calls Haydn's piano trios the most technically difficult piano works before Beethoven's sonatas, and that includes Mozart, who was a pianist. These are indeed extraordinary pieces, and the only thing that has prevented their being far more frequently played is the fact that the cello is used almost exclusively to reinforce the bass of the piano--a combination that sounds wonderful, but isn't much fun for a professional cellist. In fact, Haydn wrote these piece for gifted amateurs, and they have an easy tunefulness and sense of fun that is virtually unmatched by any other composer. These performances have just the right relaxed, genial quality, and the sound is excellent. --David Hurwitz

Album Description
It is not known exactly when Haydn composed three of these trios (27-29), but they doubtless belong to the greatest keyboard challenges among his piano trios. In 1796 Haydn composed his last trio, Hob. XV:30, which was also his last piano composition. It is considerably more concentrated in its motivic work than all its predecessors and the cantabile quality of the material is remarkable. On historical instruments, the Trio 1790 again presents the four compositions affectionately and with attention to the smallest detail.

Brisk refreshing renditions of well-worn repertoire.......2005-07-01
These works by Haydn are among the composers finest, in my opinion, although they seem to get much less attention his other major efforts in the area of chamber music, notably the string quartets. The most widely recommended recordings of these works are by the Beaux Arts Trio, who perform them using a modern piano string instruments. These performances recorded by CPO employ a forte piano and period string instuments. The more transparent texture produced by the old instruments gives these performances a more percussive, transparent texture which serves the music well, in my opinion. I recommend these recordings highly.
