    I concur...a great set. Even better was that I got it when it first came out for about £15!

      Like you I enjoy this set a great deal. Richly evocative avoustics assist in the pleasure of these performances. However, will definitely be seeking out Staier's multi CD fortepiano CD as a result of hearing his performance of the E Flat sonata.

        It would have been good if there had been more performances on forte piano but that may be asking too much.
        Perhaps - but then I was extremely grateful to hear the Alexis Weissenberg recording, which it would never have otherwise occurred to me to seek out - I thought it was rather good, with some astonishing fingerwork. Not at all a bad sound from the monstrous instrument!

            Haven't heard all the programmes yet, but will listen out for Staier - I've loved his recordings of the three keyboard concerti for years.

              His other boxes of CPE Bach and Dussek are well worth acquiring, too.

                Not forgetting that Staier joins Schornsheim in four sonatas in her Haydn keyboard survey.
