Michael Haydn at his best. Gentle gallant melodies like Boccherini; Rigorous structure like bro FJ; Open heart singing like younger Mozart's pieces (older Mozart will add melancholy to his smile combining both feelings at once); playful concertante like JC Bach; balancing past and future like Schobert and others). In one word pleasant but profound like himself, Michael Haydn. Chapeau!
The genius of Joseph has totally eclipsed the talent of Michael, who had worked some time in Salzburg, where he was in contact with the young Mozart. Michael had a beautiful talent, as we can see in this concerto for viola, hapsichord and strings, which is written with a delicate sense of the tones of the soloists and a careful equilibrium between the soloists and the orchestra.
Joseph may have eclipsed him overall, but definitely not totally, because when it came to sacred music it was Michael who was the undisputed genius of the Haydn family. One of his settings of the Requiem Mass inspired Mozart's, and is in no way inferior to that of his younger friend. tinyurl.com/rvu3u9k
I first discovered this recording when I was in high school in the 1970s. I loved it then, as I do now! I found the music and have enjoyed playing it ever since.
Hola!! Felicitaciones. Hermosísima y óptima interpretación del ahora ya más conocido Doble Concertante para viola, órgano y orquesta de Michael Haydn. En 1992 pude conocer esta obra y me enamoré de ella. En primera instancia di con una versión grabada para el sello francés Erato Records con la participación de Marie Claire Alain al órgano. Hasta ahora no he podido adquirir dicha grabación.. Más de veinte años después!!. Soy un enamorado de esta obra. Sinceramente Muchas Gracias por compartirla. Estudio viola. Conduzco un programa de radio desde el '92. Saludos y un Abrazo desde Argentina (Pedro Bozniak-Guerrero)
Тот факт, что Моцарт был замечательным и великим музыкальным гением, никто в этом не сомневается, но я думаю, что элегантность в музыкальных композициях братьев Гайдн просто впечатляет. Спасибо за обмен.
Thank you. This would be MH41 (P55). There is also a recording by Stephen Shingles (viola) and Simon Preston (organ) with the Academy of St. Martin in the Fields conducted by Neville Marriner.
Auch eine sehr schöne Interpretation, man unterstellt den vor HIP Interpretationen ja gerne langweilig zu sein. Das hier ist eine wirklich sehr schöne Interpretation, die zudem nicht überhetzt ist, wie das bei neueren Interpretationen leider oft der Fall ist. Übrigens ist es auch sehr schön aufgenommen, da ist nichts verwaschen und die Klangfarben sind sehr natürlich wiedergegeben.

Maravilloso concierto...que sonido de la Viola, instrumento con poca publicidad...

Hermosisimo concierto y el adagio es inspirador.
Echte Ströme von zärtlicher Liebe !!!Tepper Michael.
schitterend, nice and never boring
i love you modern harpsichord.
thank you very much.
recorded 6th-8th. Sep 1965
The Lord and Lady playing music together is a very good thing.
Auch eine sehr schöne Interpretation, man unterstellt den vor HIP Interpretationen ja gerne langweilig zu sein. Das hier ist eine wirklich sehr schöne Interpretation, die zudem nicht überhetzt ist, wie das bei neueren Interpretationen leider oft der Fall ist.
Übrigens ist es auch sehr schön aufgenommen, da ist nichts verwaschen und die Klangfarben sind sehr natürlich wiedergegeben.
Maravilloso Adagio!!
I wonder why is not played nor recorded more often. Pinchas Zukerman should record it.
Most enjoyable.
oh, that Viola !
It's very nice and I feel like sounds Mozart or Joseph Haydn😀
