A generous collection of Haydn Concertos, Overtures and Dances, this 2CD set offers the Philips recordings of the Cello Concertos and the Argo recordings of the remaining works. Although issued in various reissues, the Marriner/Argo Haydn Concertos have never before been offered collectively, and this collection offers a great opportunity to explore these recordings from 1966–69. Familiar works such as the E flat major Trumpet Concerto and the two Cello Concertos appear together with the little-known Organ Concerto. Also on offer are two sets of German Dances/Allemandes (both making their first appearance on CD) and a pair of Overtures, of which that for Acide e Galatea is a first-on-CD release. “a delightfully crisp and vivacious performance here, at lively tempi and with neat, sharply defined phrasing” Gramophone Magazine (Organ Concerto) “Written while asleep", wrote Haydn on the score of the first of these concertos. Well, perhaps. And of course one has probably heard performances during which some of the players were undoubtedly asleep. But none of them, surely, could have dropped off on this occasion: both concertos are far too alive to conceive the possibility. Barry Tuckwell plays and phrases splendidly, not in the least intimidated by the range in both directions demanded of him by Haydn. And the orchestra are with him: stylish and alert.” Gramophone Magazine (Horn Concertos) “The harpsichord concerto is neatly played, tempi distinctly on the lively side, but with spruce rhythms from Neville Marriner’s orchestra and a crisp and brilliant account of the harpsichord part from George Malcolm.” Gramophone Magazine (Harpsichord Concerto) “…performances of such stimulating detail and so rich in individual character…” Gramophone Magazine (Cello Concertos) “Tuckwell plays the Horn Concerto No. 1 superbly … striking tone and finesse [from Alan Stringer in the Trumpet Concerto] … ‘the playing in the Dances and the Acide e Galatea Overture is a wonderful example of sheer style, yet readily conveys the players’ enjoyment of this innocent but rewarding music” Penguin Guide *** | | | In stock - usually despatched within 1 working day. |

Haydn Sinfonietta Wien, Manfred Huss Haydn Sinfonietta Wien’s acclaimed recordings of Haydn’s overtures were originally produced and released by the Koch/Schwann label, and have been remastered by BIS Records for this collection. To commemorate the bicentenary of the death of Joseph Haydn, BIS Records and the Haydn Sinfonietta Wien have entered into a collaboration which will result in several releases during 2009. The repertoire will mainly consist of rare works from Haydn’s œuvre, including music written for the stage, concert arias and orchestral works. “Manfred Huss and his brilliant period band - with gleefully whooping, rasping horns - relish to the full the colour and crackling energy of these overtures, without short-changing the delicate sentiment of their slow sections.” Gramophone Magazine, Awards Issue 2009 “There is no other set of Haydn overtures at this level of comprehensiveness, nor does there need to be. This one is sensational.” Classics Today | | | (also available to download from $21.75) | In stock - usually despatched within 1 working day. |
