Review:
An excellent disc
I think this is an excellent disc. Haydn wrote well over 100 baryton trios for
his not-very-talented patron to play, some of which do show both the limits of
the player and the reluctance of the composer.
The six trios chosen here, though, are all very good works and are
beautifully played; the trio are all fine players and they really bring the
music to life so that it shines with Haydn's trademark depth and wit. The sound of the baryton is beautifully
captured by the recording and the overall sound is excellent.
I have the Esterhazy Ensemble's recording of the complete
Haydn baryton trios and also a very good single disc by the Netherlands Baryton
Trio, but this outshines both in my view.
If you're looking for an excellently chosen and performed sample of the
baryton trios, I can warmly recommend this.
