About

Stanford retained an enthusiasm for the music of Bach throughout his life, and the two sets of ‘Twenty-four Preludes in all the keys for pianoforte’ are a clear homage to JSB’s own ‘48’. Sam Haywood, making his second recording for Hyperion, performs his own selection.

Hyperion Records and Sam Haywood are exceedingly grateful to Lark Group Limited for their support of this recording.

Spotlight on this release

Awards and reviews

June 2017

Haywood offers a living performance, coloured with the romantic aura that even clings to the preludes modelled after Baroque dance forms

June 2017

[Haywood] does this repertoire absolutely proud; possessing a pleasingly rounded tone, sensitivity to dynamic nuance and flawless technical address, his is a decidedly superior brand of pianism

July 2017

I must express my personal fondness for Sam Haywood’s rich and gloriously full-blooded tone, with the depth of the piano, superbly captured in this recording. It adds real substance to music, which may be miniature in physical size but is gigantic in artistic stature.

28th May 2017

Haywood plays these intensely rewarding miniatures with just the right amount of swagger and flair.
