Combattimento Consort records Haydn New CD The Netherlands Symphony Orchestra

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 is available from 4 September 2009 and is a Super Audio recording!
