Mozart · Sonatas KV 331 & 332
Haydn · Sonatas Hob. XVI n° 48 & n° 40
LdN 001, Paris, 2012

With this CD, dedicated to the friendship between Mozart and Haydn, we are far removed from a studio atmosphere. Recorded live, the recording is very faithful to the concert, to that special communication which exists between a musician and his audience. Following two of the most famous Mozart sonatas, twoHaydn sonatas in two movements combine seriousness and exuberance, apparent simplicity and studied sophistication. The sound quality faithfully reproduces the acoustical space.

On his keyboard as well as in his book, Ziad Kreidy goes in turn in crusade, and maintains that the fortepiano, neither an improved harpsichord nor an incomplete piano, is a perfect smooth talker – distinct timbre, clear and veloce diction. Mozart and Haydn were not mistaken.
