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. |

Wilhelm Bruns (natural horn) Heidelburg Sinfoniker, Thomas Fey There has been some doubt about the authenticity of Haydn’s Horn Concerto No. 2 but there is no doubt that it is a genuinely fine work for the natural horn. Wilhelm Brun is a specialist on this instrument and has made a name for himself as a chamber musician and soloist. These more obscure works make an interesting addition to this series. “[Bruns] plays [the concerti] on a valveless horn as if they're the best music ever written for the instrument and consequently turns in gripping performances, full of wit and wisdom.” Gramophone Magazine, January 2011 “Wilhelm Bruns's solo execution is virtuosic and makes an excellent case for his valveless instrument...The three players who join Bruns in [the Hornsignal] prove worthy colleagues, and the 'period' sonority of the ensemble seems perfectly apt for the score.” International Record Review, December 2010 | | | (also available to download from $10.50) | Usually despatched in 2 - 3 working days.

Jasper de Waal (horn) Concertgebouw Chamber Orchestra Jasper de Waal has occupied the position of first horn with the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra since 2004. He won several regional music competitions for young musicians in1983 and 1984. Jasper can be heard as a soloist on dozens of recordings of the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra. His other recordings include the horn trios of Johannes Brahms and Jochem Slothouwer and Gregson’s horn concerto. The Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra is made up of orchestral players of the highest international standing. Many of them can be heard not only in the orchestra but also regularly in chamber music performances. After all, the fabulous wealth of that repertoire is a rewarding challenge for any musician. In the CD series ‘First Chairs of the RoyalConcertgebouw Orchestra’, musicians submit their personal calling card, as it were, with their very own choice of music from their particular instrument’s repertoire. This is one of the ways that the orchestra can proudly introduce its musicians as individuals. This ebullient collection features Concertos and chamber works for Horn by both Michael and Joseph Haydn. “Technically faultless, with a gleaming, heroic tone, the Concertgebouw's principal horn player Jasper de Waal barely breaks a sweat in this decorous selection of aristocratic background music from the two Haydns.” The Independent, 25th April 2010 | | | Usually despatched in 4 - 5 working days. |
