Product Description
CD Description
The Dutch baroque music specialist Ton Koopman has been the recipient of countless awards over the years, most recently for his recordings of the complete cantatas of J. S. Bach, and his ongoing series of the complete works of Dieterich Buxtehude. Alongside his regular orchestra, the Amsterdam Baroque, he is here featured as soloist in Organ Concertos by Joseph Haydn. It is not easy to make a list of Haydn’s organ concertos. At one stage ten concertos were attributed to him, but now there are some serious doubt as to whether four of them are authentic. Secondly there is the choice of the solo instrument. In the second half of the 18th century the German word ‘Klavier’ could mean at least four instruments: pianoforte, harpsichord, organ en clavichord. There are some indications that suggest that Haydn himself had the organ or harpsichord in mind for instance for the Concerto in C Hob.XVIII, because he has written that down in the so-called ‘Entwurf-Katalog’ which he made of his own works. As first violinist of the classical London Haydn Quartet Catherine Manson has performed in venues such as the Concertgebouw, Amsterdam, the Library of Congress, Washington and London’s Wigmore Hall in addition to starting several new concert series in the UK. The quartet’s recent recordings for Hyperion and Glossa have met with high critical acclaim. Ton Koopman founded the Amsterdam Baroque Orchestra in 1979. The group consists of internationally renowned baroque specialists who meet up several times a year and work together to prepare and perform new exciting programmes.
