Each a model of taste and elegance, Hertel’s Op. 1 Sonatas conform unashamedly to the mid-18th- century style galant which preoccupied aesthetic ideals at the time. Rost’s sparkling playing highlights the many delightful rhythmic and melodic felicities which mark these fleeting but attractive works. Stephen Haylett
