FRANZ JOSEPH HAYDN (1732-1809)Symphony No. 6 for flute, two oboes, bassoon, 2 horns, violin concertante, cello concertante, strings, and double bass in D major "Le Matin" (The Morning) Hob 1:63. Menuetto avec Trio4. Finale: AllegroPerformed by the Freiburger Barockorchester*Haydn wrote this, his first symphonic work for his new employer Prince Nikolaus Eszterházy, in the spring of 1761, shortly after joining the court. The Eszterházys maintained in permanent residence an excellent chamber orchestra and with his first contribution for it in the symphonic genre, Haydn fully exploited the talents of the players. In this, Haydn was consciously drawing on the familiar tradition of the concerto grosso, exemplified by the works of Antonio Vivaldi, Giuseppe Tartini, and Tomaso Albinoni then much in vogue at courts across Europe. Nikolaus Eszterházy had a fondness for programme music of this kind. Amongst the scores owned by the court musical establishment were Vivaldi's "Four Seasons"; and in 1748 the prince's Kapellmeister Gregor Joseph Werner had composed a "Musikalischer Instrumental-Kalender' on all twelve months.

FRANZ JOSEPH HAYDN (1732-1809)Divertimento octet for baryton, two violins, viola, cello doublebass, and two horns in A major Hob X :122. Adagio3. PrestoPerformed by Ensemble Baroque de Limoges and Quator MasaiquesFeaturing Cristophe Coin, baryton*The baryton is an old bowed stringed instrument, in regular use up until the end of the 18th century. It most likely fell out of favor due to its immense difficulty to play. Its size is comparable to that of a violoncello; it has seven or sometimes six bowed strings of gut, plus from nine to twenty-four sympathetic wire strings (most often twelve). The gut strings are bowed while the wire strings are plucked by the thumb of the performer in order to create a contrasting tonal quality. [ More Detail ]
