"This is playing of extraordinary sophistication and insight" (BBC Music)
"This new version bids fair to eclipse all comers in zest, colour and youthful joie de vivre. The faster movements, culminating in an explosive evening storm, really fizz; and I loved the way the players treat the minuet of Le soir as a light-stepping waltz, in contrast to the courtly gait of the other two minuets. An ideally balanced recording that lets you hear every detail in the tuttis."
***** Five Stars BBC Music Magazine (May 02)
"A winner with exhilarating inventive playing complemented by an ideally balanced recording."
BBC Music Magazine - Best CDs of 2002
Inspired by Vivaldi's 'Four Seasons', these Haydn symphonies illustrating the different times of the day - except for night, which is absent - are amongst the very first works the composer was required to write for the Esterházy court.
These three admirable symphonies feature concertante parts that provide brilliant dialogue between the solo instruments.
Tracks:
Symphonie n°6 ''Le Matin''
Symphonie n°7 ''Le Midi''
Symphonie n°8 ''Le Soir''
