Haydn: Symphonies 61 & 103, Cello Concerto 2

Scottish Chamber Orchestra
Gerard Schwarz, conductor
Janos Starker, cello

“It’s as if Haydn suddenly were reborn, a formidable giant emerging from the dark shadows of Mozart and Beethoven.” Editor’s Choice, CD Review

“The thing that makes the Delos Haydn project special is the skill with which it is focused on the color and feeling in Haydn’s music. It is an approach well calculated to shake the dust off the music of Haydn and lit its sparkle come through.” Washington Post
