Product Description
CD Description
Following his critically acclaimed recording of all the Mozart concertos, Giuliano Carmignola fulfills his long-held wish to record the unjustly neglected violin concertos of Joseph Haydn. Carmignola’s technical precision, disciplined musicality and gorgeous tone bring every one of the composer’s intentions to vivid life. His musical collaborators here, the remarkable Orchestre des Champs-Élysées − known for performing repertoire from Haydn to Mahler on period instruments − makes an ideal partner.

Even as a lover of Haydn I have to admit that his violin concertos aren't among his greatest works. Nevertheless, he was incapable of writing poor or dull music and while these may not have the brilliance and profundity of his trumpet or cello concerti, this is still a terrifically enjoyable disc.
These are early works which already show the grace, charm and wit which became such a hallmark of Haydn. There are signs, too, of developing depth, but the dominant sense here is of sheer enjoyment of music which Carmignola brings out fully. He and the small orchestra give terrific performances full of understanding, thought and real zip when appropriate. The recording is excellent and the whole thing has a delightful feel to it.
This is a thoroughly enjoyable disc in every way and I heartily recommend it.

EXCELLENT INSPIRING INTERPRETATIONS OF HAYDN VIOLIN CONCERTI BY CARMIGNOLA,

Five ENJOYABLE Stars! This excellent CD captures violin virtuoso Giuliano Carmignola as he steps away from the baroque period of his last recording, the well-received Concerto Italiano, into the Classical period with the exceptional support of the Orchestre des Champs-Elysées under the leadership of Alessandro Moccia playing Franz Joseph Haydn's three surviving concertos for violin and orchestra: Hob. VIIa-1, 3, & 4. Because these concerti occurred relatively early in Haydn's career and occupy such a small part of his list of prolific compositions, some downplay their importance. Nonetheless this music, in the hands of master musician Carmignola and his cohorts, speaks for itself: it is elegant, beautiful, and stimulating music that represents the composer Haydn, the Classical period, and the concerto format very well. Written during the 1760's, none were published before the 20th Century and Hob VIIa 2 still awaits discovery. These works are uniformly excellent, and some of the best moments include the stately elegance of the Allegro moderato movement of Hob. VIIa 1 played wonderfully by Carmignola and the Orchestre des Champs-Elysées using period instruments, especially Carmigola's soliloquy here and in the Allegro moderato movement of Hob. VIIa 4. And there is Carmignola's masterful reading of the Moderato movement of Concerto in A Major, Hob. VIIa 3 and and the concluding Allegro movement of Violin Concerto in G Major, Hob. VIIa: 4. Superbly recorded and Highly Recommended. Five STATELY Stars! (This review is based on an mp3 download of 9 tracks; time: 59:30.)

We have to thank Carmignola for digging these sonatas and bringing out such splendour and wonder. You will sure to be wrapped with the layer of luminous and ecstatic harmony!
