New classical releases and Building a Library on Haydn's Piano Sonata in E flat HOB XVI:52 with Iain Burnside. Flora Willson reviews new opera releases
with Andrew McGregor

Building a Library: Iain Burnside picks a personal favourite from among the recordings of Haydn's Piano Sonata in Eb, H 16:52
Written in 1794, this is the last and one of the greatest of Haydn's piano sonatas. In this piece Haydn expanded the sonata structure beyond its normal scope, explored unusual harmonies and developed his thematic material with unusual rigour. Haydn wrote it for the outstanding pianist Therese Jansen, who lived in London at the time of his visits there in the 1790s.
