JOHANN ADOLF HASSE (1699-1783): 11 Harpsichord Sonatas, 2 Toccatas.

Description: These items are all recorded using sources preserved in Italy. The sonatas (five of which are claimed as first recordings) are in two or three movements and show both late baroque and galant features. Given Hasse’s fame as a composer of stage and vocal works, this is quite unusual repertoire. 2 CDs. Chiara Cattani (harpsichord).
