Richard Lester (harpsichord, fortepiano)About
Between 1752 and 1757, thirteen volumes containing thirty sonatas in each were copied out for the Queen. To this series of volumes, two others were added and dated 1742 and 1749. By 1782 these fifteen volumes were housed in the Biblioteca Marciana, in Venice. They are now referred to as the ‘Venice’ manuscripts and constitute the principal source for these recordings.
The complete Keyboard sonatas with appendices and recent discoveries, plus six Continuo sonatas are issued on 38 CDs in 7 volumes.
Sonatas K429 A major, K430 D major, K434 D minor and K415 D major are played on the fortepiano.
“Until now the reference recording for this repertoire has been that of Scott Ross. But it's more than 20 years since that recording appeared. Lester's Nimbus series contains more material and makes an exceptionally good alternative which cannot be recommended too highly.” - Mark Sealey musicwebinternational.com
