Haydn (1732-1809)

Description:

Haydn 2032, Vol. 8 includes Bartok by Il Giardino armonico! Giovanni Antonini's systematic series of recordings of Haydn's symphonies, of which more than 100 have been published, will continue until 2032, the 300th anniversary of the composer's birth. Each recording has a theme, and the recording always features a related work by a composer other than Haydn. The performance will be given by the two groups that will lead the series. The performance is by Il Giardino armonico, one of the two groups that will be leading this series, and Antonini's vivid interpretation of Bartók's works played on 18th century instruments brings out his taste for folk music even more. ...... The theme of this year's concert is "East. The theme of this year's concert was "East," and the selections highlight Haydn's interest in the traditional music of the Slovaks, Roma, and Turkish culture that he heard there under his employer, the Marquis of Esterházy, who had a territory in the eastern part of Austria on the border with Hungary.Among the three masterpieces from the early and middle periods, it is a rare opportunity to hear the beautiful symphony No. 63 "La Roxolana," with its exotic and lustrous slow movement, played on the latest antique instruments. The commentary by Antonini himself, who explains the theme in detail, as well as the beautifully illustrated commentary provided by Magnum Photo, are also outstanding. Naxos Japan
