Performance of the last movement of Haydn's Cello Concerto in D Major. June 2008. I am the cellist in this video. Even though I usually embrace constructive criticism, I have already extensively analysed my errors in this recording and would therefore appreciate it if you could refrain from negative comments this time around. Thanks, and enjoy!But first, for anyone who is interested, here is some background information on the piece:Some fun background info: For some time, music historians were unsure whether or not Haydn actually wrote this concerto; some scholars believed that the composer of the piece was Anton Kraft, Haydn's friend and the world's first cello virtuoso. It was later verified that the piece was, in fact, composed by Haydn, who intended for it to be performed by Kraft, accompanied by an orchestra of only about fourteen people. The concerto, however, was deemed too difficult to be played and as a result, it was not performed until about 180 years after its composition. It is still regarded as the most difficult cello concerto in the repertoire. Haydn himself was known for having a good sense of humour and I find that this movement in particular really exemplifies this. I find it profoundly ironic that one of the only light-hearted concertos written for the instrument is also the most challenging. The contrast between the blithe "maggiore" section and the melodramatic "minore" section borders on comical. The recurring section of the rondo comes back in one of the variations written upside-down. And the jocosity of the recurring theme bears an optimistic message of happiness prevailing.

In this episode we play the cello concerto in C Major by Joseph Haydn. We decided to play it with organ since it sounds more like an orchestra and it makes a nice match. We are playing in a wonderful church called Mountainview United Church. We hope you enjoy it. [ More Detail ]
