This recording is the the first collaboration of Italian pianist Alessandro Deljavan with Artalinna. It brings together three contrasting Sonatas and the famous Variations in F minor by Joseph Haydn, in fact two works from his full maturity (1793, 1794) with two opuses from the middle period (1774-1778) during which Haydn, the ebullient revolutionary, laid down the standards of the classical forms that were to structure a large part of creation until the end of the 19th century. The two scores of the 1790s represent a supreme achievement of “classical” genius.

Italian pianist Alessandro Deljavan has been astonishing audiences for more than two decades. Acknowledgements began at the age of nine when he won the prestigious Concours musical de France (1st Prize, Paris, 1996). He is embraced for his remarkable prowess and emotional intensity by audiences and colleagues alike.

“Deljavan played Chopin’s B minor Etude with jaw dropping virtuosity and heart-stopping eloquence.”
—Scott Cantrell, Dallas Morning News
