Haydn’s popular Trumpet Concerto is best known for its thrilling first movement cadenza and brilliant and inventive Rondo finale.The Horn Concerto No. 1 is also notable for the technical demands made on the soloist, not least the large octave leaps in the lower range of the instrument. The Harpsichord Concerto in D major is one of a group of such works apparently designed initially for the organ. The relatively extended and rarely recorded Double Concerto for Harpsichord, Violin and Strings is Haydn’s only surviving concerto for two solo instruments.


   




Review By James H. North,Fanfare,January 2009

This looks like an interesting collection of Haydn concertos, running the gamut from the early, little-known double Concerto to the late, great Trumpet Concerto…the recorded sound excellent.



Review By Richard Wigmore,Gramophone,November 2008

The Naxos disc offers an attractive Haydn medley. Both the Harpsichord Concerto and the Double Concerto, both from the 1750s, were conceived for organ (without pedals). Their first movements tend to meander amiably but inconsequentially, and their aria-like slow movements have a fragile rococo charm. Most fetching are the gamesome finales. Playing on a silvery-toned single-manual harpsichord, Harald Hoeren gives a deft and (in the finale) spirited performance. In the Double Concerto he switches to fortepiano and relishes his bouts of elegant badinage with violinist Ariadne Daskalakis.

Review By Bob Briggs,MusicWeb International,October 2008

The Horn Concerto which opens the disk is full of good things, the writing for horn is certainly virtuosic—the range which Haydn demands of his performer is phenomenal—and here Babanov is quite happy whether he plays in the highest or lowest registers. Haydn goes to both extremes and exploits the full range of the instrument. The work also includes two quite taxing cadenzas. It is thought that the work was written for Joseph Leutgeb, the recipient of Mozart’s four Horn Concertos—he must have been some player! And what a lucky man to have five such magnificent works created for him!
