'Clementi's sonatas have been neglected for far too long … we have had to wait an extraordinarily long time for a complete survey of this quality … with performances as characterful as Shelley's and with two CDs for the price of one, this is a genuine bargain, one that is likely to delight and to amaze in equal measure' (International Record Review) 'This second instalment of all Clementi's 70-odd sonatas in chronological order is no less relevatory than the first … the sonatas combine the high spirits and dexterity of Scarlatti with the classicism of Haydn and Mozart; some of the slow movements have an even greater depth of expression than theirs … furthermore, you get two discs for the price of one. Difficult to resist!' (Classic FM Magazine) 'As in Vol 1 of his Clementi cycle, Howard Shelley's crystalline touch, poised elegance at speed and (in the slow movements) gentle flexibility are well nigh ideal' (Gramophone) 'These soul-searching works are rendered with profound feeling and sensitivity by Shelley, a worthy Clementi champion for our age' (The Observer) 'Shelley has no problem meeting Clementi's demands, and he tosses off all the works here with elegant virtuosity' (BBC Music Magazine)
