海頓/亨德密特:大提琴協奏曲集暨交響曲

海頓曾說過:”我不是任何樂器的魔術師, 但是我知道所有樂器的能力與效果". 他在大提琴協奏曲中善用了這些知識, 這是為在艾斯特哈奇王子(Prince Esterhazy)的宮廷中, '他的'管弦樂團中的兩位大提琴家而寫, 而且相隔了二十多年. 這兩件作品在協奏曲曲目有穩固的地位, 但這並非是必然如此的.

C大調第一號協奏曲長久以來被認為已經遺失, 一直到1961年在布拉格國家博物館發現一組部分樂譜. 在另一方面, D大調協奏曲則是未曾遺失過, 但有很長一段時間其來源一直有疑問存在. 一直到海頓的手稿在1954年被發現時才能毫無疑問的證明該作品作者的身份. 這兩件大提琴曲目中的珍寶在此由瑞典著名的大提琴家克里斯蒂安.波特拉演奏, 他同時指揮慕尼黑室內樂團伴奏. 在此張結尾的是一件150年之後寫的作品, 作曲家兼中提琴家亨德密在紀念1936年英格蘭喬治五世逝世的音樂會中為自己演奏編寫的(葬禮音樂 Trauermusik). 在這張中聽到的是給大提琴和弦樂的版本.

Joseph Haydn once remarked: 'I was not a magician on any instrument, but I knew the power and effect of all of them.' This knowledge he used to good effect in his cello concertos, composed some twenty years apart for two different cellists in 'his' orchestra at the court of Prince Esterhazy. Both works are firmly established in the concert repertoire, but this has not always been the case.

Concerto No. 1 in C major was long believed to be lost and it was only in 1961 that a set of parts were discovered in the Prague National Museum. The D major concerto, on the other hand, was never lost, but for a very long time there was doubts concerning its provenance. Only when Haydn's manuscript was found in 1954 could the work's authorship be clarified beyond doubt. These two jewels in the cello repertoire are here performed by the acclaimed Swiss cellist Christian Poltera who also directs the Munchener Kammerorchester. Closing the disc is a work composed some 150 years later: the composer and viola player Paul Hindemith wrote his Trauermusik for himself to perform at a concert commemorating the death of George V of England in 1936. It is here heard in the version for cello and strings.
