Overview
This stunning double-album features the vibrant period-instrument ensemble Il Pomo d'Oro performing a diverse collection of concertos by Joseph Haydn. Led by co-chief conductors Riccardo Minasi and Maxim Emelyanychev, the recording has been hailed as a masterpiece of virtuosity and historical informed performance. The Guardian describes the ensemble as "wonderful," noting Minasi's ability to "bring the house down with his virtuosity."
The set highlights Haydn’s genius across multiple instruments, featuring violin, horn, and keyboard concertos, as well as the unique Double Concerto for violin and harpsichord. Notably, the collection includes the "La Poule" (The Hen) Symphony, showcasing the ensemble's orchestral range. With the use of authentic period instruments—including the challenging natural horn played by Johannes Hinterholzer—this Erato release offers a crisp, energetic, and historically rich listening experience.
Interesting Facts
- The Ensemble's Name: Il Pomo d'Oro (The Golden Apple) takes its name from a 1666 opera by Antonio Cesti, reflecting the group’s specialty in Baroque and Classical era music.
- Double Duty: Both Riccardo Minasi and Maxim Emelyanychev serve as both conductors and soloists on this recording, demonstrating the versatile leadership that defines modern period-instrument bands.
- Natural Horn: Unlike modern horns with valves, the "natural horn" used in the Horn Concerto in D major relies entirely on the player's lips and hand-stopping techniques to change notes, providing a raw, earthy tone typical of Haydn's era.
- "La Poule": Symphony No. 83 earned its nickname because the clucking rhythm of the first movement's second theme reminded listeners of a hen. It is one of Haydn's famous "Paris" symphonies.
