There is no content on this page at the moment. Combattimento Consort records Haydn The Combattimento Consort Amsterdam recorded four of the less known baryton works by Joseph Haydn under the direction of Jan Willem de Vriend (also chief conductor of the Dutch Symphony Orchestra). Freek Borstlap plays the rarely used and hard to master baryton. Hob.X:1, 5 and 12 come from a series of six divertimenti for baryton and a larger ensemble consisting of strings and two horns. The source of Hob.X:10 is unclear, but in In the Entwurf-Katalog the work appears in a version for baryton, viola, cello and double bass. The cd will be available from 4 September 2009 and is a Super Audio recording! New CD The Netherlands Symphony Orchestra The programme offered in the new CD by the Netherlands Symphony Orchestra forms a bridge between the two most popular violin concertos of Paganini and the operas of Rossini. Violin soloist on this recording is Rudolf Koelman, former (and first) leader of Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra in Amsterdam. This grandly performed double bill of Paganini-Rossini opens our ears to Paganini’s operatic style of composing and improvising techniques, underlined by the virtuoso writing and instrumentation of Rossini's semi-improvised overture. The cd will be available from October 2nd 2009
