A Great Recording of Haydn's Cello Concerti May 11, 2002
John Kwok (New York, NY USA)
9 out of 9 found this review helpful
Steven Isserlis' performances of Haydn's cello concerti, as well as some of Haydn's other music, are absolutely splendid. His playing is replete with elegant lyricism and technique; without question, his interpretations of Haydn's scores are among the finest I have heard. Of special note is Isserlis' inspired performance of Haydn's Sinfonia Concertante. He is blessed with having Sir Roger Norrington and the Chamber Orchestra of Europe as excellent accompanists. The sound quality is superb.
A beautiful recording September 14, 2000
13 out of 13 found this review helpful
In this recording of Haydn's two cello concertos, Steven Isserlis demonstrates his absolutely gorgeous tone combined with technical prowess and authentic style. Unlike most other recordings of the cello concertos, Isserlis performs with a small orchestra and takes a faster tempo, sticking close to all of Haydn's musical instructions. As always, Isserlis breezes beautifully through the treacherous technical passages, playing them as music to equal the famous singing lines. Every note is heard crystal clear. The divertimento reveals Isserlis's lesser known (but no less sophisticated) side as a chamber musician. The instruments blend perfectly, and the music is reminiscent of one of Haydn's great symphonies. If you're looking for a recording of the Haydn cello concertos, this is certainly one of the very best, with the added bonus of the divertimento.
