Wilhelm Backhaus, Franz Joseph Haydn

Description:

Commemorating the 140th anniversary of his birth & 55th anniversary of his death, has there ever been a more prestigious and dignified Haydn? Listening to Backhaus's Haydn, one can understand that Haydn was Beethoven's teacher and played an important role in the later history of music. It was only in the last years of Backhaus' life that he was able to fully express Haydn's piano music, which is usually taken lightly. This is one of the great legacies of Haydn's music that will remain for posterity. Universal Music
