Muzio Clementi: Piano Works, Vol. 2 - Stefan Irmer

Editorial Reviews

Beethoven admired Clementi's work, and so do I. Clementi's style will certainly remind you of Beethoven, but remember which one was influencing the other--Clementi was earlier. Not all of Clementi's music is equally interesting; his musical personality took a while to develop, and late in life he wrote some pretty mindless stuff to keep his publishing company going. But this is prime stuff: three of the best classical piano sonatas written by anyone whose name isn't Haydn, Mozart, or Beethoven. I like Stefan Irmer's playing very well; he sounds as though he has been living with the music for a while, and he never just rattles it off. --Leslie Gerber
