Review:
A very fine recording
I have enjoyed Amandine Beyer’s baroque recordings with Gli
Incogniti for some years now. I am pleased to say that this Haydn
disc is just as good.
Haydn’s Cello
Concertos are terrific works and there is a very good interpretation
by Marco Ceccato here of the C major Concerto. I have never got on
nearly so well with his Violin Concerti – until now. Beyer brings
exactly the right combination of serious musical weight and that
knowing Haydn twinkle to make the two concerti here an absolute
delight. She and her players really seem to understand that Haydn
often said serious things in a witty way, and their baroque
experience brings a lovely lightness of step while never losing the
music’s genuine quality. It has been rather a revelation to me and
I very much hope Beyer will record more in the future.
The recorded sound
by Harmonia Mundi is excellent and the disc is very nicely presented
with good notes. It’s a very fine disc all round and I can
recommend it very warmly.
