Haydn, Joseph - Cello Concertos

---

---

"Maria Kliegel is a fine cellist, with an appealing tone and a strong presence."
(Gramophone)

"This recording joins performances of Haydn's cello concertos by Ludovit Kanta and the Capella Istropolitana that have featured in the Naxos listings for some time and were due for a fresh look. Maria Kliegel's energetic and stylish accounts certainly are much more appealing, and as with her other Naxos recordings, this one has fulsome tone and generous musical presence. ..Kliegel's disc also merits attention for its completeness; here's a rare chance to get the 'little' D major concerto alongside the other two. As you'd expect if you've heard Kliegel already, her account of the well-known D major concerto is a sonorous and lucid one ...what makes this disc especially useful is the unauthenticated D major concerto sandwiched between its regularly performed siblings. It's a delightful work, otherwise unavailable on disc, and very nicely done."
