Reviews

  • An interesting version of the C major concerto

    This recording makes an interesting addition to a collection of versions of Haydn's masterpiece C major concerto. It cannot, however, be recommended as a single, best version, which would still go, in my opinion, to Du Pre/Barenboim. I cannot imagine a more heart-rending version of the slow movement than Du Pre's. The stand-out movement in this recording is the third with its thrillingly fast tempo and virtuoso playing by orchestra and cellist. The slow movement is musically interesting but not emotionally involving. I suppose the balance between the volume of the cello and the orchestra is realistic for the concert hall, but I would have preferred the cello to be emphasized a bit more. The cadenzas can best be described as odd and unsatisfying. The orchestral playing is excellent throughout and is what originally attracted me to this recording since the samples were poorly chosen and barely included the cello.
