Playel: Hidden Gems 3

For the curious music lover the string quartets by Ignaz Pleyel (1757-1831) have a special appeal because his music is written in a highly familiar style, but brand new and full of surprises: unexpected turns from major to minor, a sleek elegance of the melody etc. The beauty of Pleyels music is often revealed through a maximum fineness. The third installment in the series features three sonatas of the successful contemporary of Mozart and Haydn's pupil.
