WORKS: Sonata in F, Op. 20/3; Sonata in B flat, Op. 24/3; Three Sonatas, Op. 31
PERFORMER: Trio 1790
CATALOGUE NO: 999 583-2
Dussek exploited his own prowess in sparkling keyboard parts, here elegantly balanced with strings on period instruments. Two ‘sonatas’ are impassioned and searching, three more reflect 18th-century London’s delight in buried folk tunes. A delightfully sunny disc eminently worth exploring. George Pratt
