Nicolas Horvath - Anne-Louise Brillon de Jouy: The Piano Sonatas - Rediscovered

The thirteen sonatas on this premi�re recording represent the complete music for solo piano by the Parisian keyboardist and composer ANNE-LOUISE BRILLON DE JOUY, a musician much celebrated in her day and greatly admired by Boccherini. Introducing technical innovations more usually associated with Czerny and Liszt, these sonatas reflect a gloriously rich musical environment, incorporating and transforming elements from music of the time with great imagination and wit, and showing us that Madame Brillon�s glittering salon, though private, was by no means isolated.
