Sarah Walker presents sonatas by Haydn and Schumann played by French pianist Jean-Efflam Bavouzet. Recorded at last year's Verbier Festival.

Bavouzet is a noted interpreter of his compatriots Ravel and Debussy. Yet his repertoire is vast, from Prokofiev and Bartok (his recording of Bartok's third piano concerto was Record Review's Building a Library recommendation last month) to the complete sonatas of Beethoven and Haydn

In this afternoon's programme, he contrasts a quirky F minor sonata by Haydn with a passionate Schumann sonata, a product of the composer's outpouring of love for the woman he was to marry

Haydn
Sonata in E flat H.16.49
