Sophie Yates (harpsichord)About
Johann Christian left two suites of Sonatas - Op.5 and Op.17 - each containing 6 sonatas, composed for keyboard solo. Both suites bear the title 'For the Harpsichord or Piano Forte', but this present recording is one of the only available performances on harpsichord.
Suite Op.5 was designed to explore and showcase the capabilities of the then relatively new pianoforte, and was played in public at the Hanover Square Concert rooms to a fascinated London public on a square piano by Zumpe. Karl Geiringer, in his book Die Musikerfamilie Bach, regards the Sonata in C minor Op.5 No.6 as one of the most eminent works by Johann Christian.
This charming collection of classical sonatas is elegantly played by Sophie Yates.
‘Sophie Yates confirms her credentials as one of Britain’s most talented harpsichordists.’ - The Daily Telegraph
