Joanna Leach presents a second selection of sonatas, and the lovely Capriccio. These works are played on a Stodart square piano of 1823 and the CD is therefore a genuine reconstruction of the sort of sound heard when these works were new and contemporary. The instrument was restored by Andrew Lancaster.

Joanna Leach’s playing is characterful and tasteful. There is no sense of superficial showiness, and plenty of good musicianship which brings these pieces to life in a most convincing way and exploits the sound of the piano very effectively” - Early Music News
“One cannot but enjoy this disc, for its multitude of colours and emotions, for the true joy that Joanna Leach brings to this great music.” - Kirk McElhearn (MusicWeb)
“Leach plays cleanly and affectingly… It is to her credit that there is no wide gulf between her playing and these fixtures of the modern virtuoso stage... Very fine performances of Haydn keyboard music on attractive instruments” - Paul Shoemaker (Musicweb)
