Clementi: Complete Sonatas for Fortepiano

Known as the father of the pianoforte Muzio Clementi played an incomparable role in the development of the piano and of the repertoire for the nascent instrument both as a virtuoso keyboardist and a composer. This 18-disc collection explores the development of Clementi's distinctive style and spans his entire career from juvenilia to mature works. Maestro Costantino Mastroprimiano is a keen interpreter of the classical/early romantic style playing with wit sensitivity and brilliant historical technique on 18th and 19th century instruments.
