Haydn Inspired is an this elegant and expressive album. Pianist Nils Anders Mortensen pays homage to Joseph Haydn, one of the most inventive and influential composers of the Classical era. Through a carefully selected program of keyboard works, Mortensen explores the emotional depth, structural clarity, and playful spirit that define Haydn’s music—bringing a fresh and deeply personal interpretation to each piece. The album features:

Sonata No. 54 in G Major – a radiant and rhythmically vibrant work
Sonata No. 31 in A-flat Major – lyrical and introspective
Sonata No. 48 in C Major – bold, joyful, and full of character
Adagio in F Major – a moment of serene reflection
Variations in C Major – showcasing Haydn’s wit and inventiveness
Mortensen’s performance is marked by clarity, nuance, and a profound sensitivity to the emotional undercurrents of each composition. His approach balances historical awareness with a modern touch, inviting listeners into Haydn’s world with warmth and precision.

Haydn Inspired continues Mortensen’s acclaimed discography, which includes celebrated recordings of Brahms, Schumann, Bach, and contemporary Nordic composers. Known for his poetic interpretations and technical finesse, Mortensen has established himself as one of Norway’s leading pianists, with a reputation that extends far beyond Scandinavia.
