Title: Beautiful Music
Review: This CD by maestro Horowitz features four sonatas by the prolific, underrated and, frankly, underperformed composer Muzio Clementi (1752-1832). Anyone who appreciates solo piano works will enjoy this disc. Clementi was a contemporary of Beethoven (eighteen years his senior, actually), and while I wouldn't attempt a direct comparison between the two, his piano music is consistently excellent and very rewarding indeed. The playing time on this CD is a generous 72 minutes. Those looking for more piano music by Clementi would do well to explore Pietro Spada's complete set of Clementi piano works, an 18-disc set available either individually or as two 9-disc sets, on the Arts Music label. One final note - this CD is available as an import for $11.99; far less than what it is selling for used. Type "B0000261KL" in the search field to find it.
