Lola odiaga biography of alberta: Lola Odiaga, the Peruvian

Since , she has only been performing on the fortepiano. The fortepiano used in this recording is a copy of an Anton Walter instrument dated c. It has a compass of just over five octaves and - as was the case with the fortepianos of the period - in many ways resembles the harpsichord more than the modern piano. It has a wooden rather than a metal frame and is strung at a lower tension with lighter gauge strings.

These features of its construction are directly related to a clear and distinct tone throughout its range. That alone is reason enough for Haydn completists to want this disc. For anyone wanting the Haydn piano sonatas on a period instrumentthis series by Lola Odiaga will serve well.
