Joseph Haydn: The Seven Last Words of Christ on the Cross

The Kuijken String Quartet live 31 March 1994

Sigiswald Kuijken, violin
François Fernández, violin
Marleen Thiers, viola
Wieland Kuijken, cello

Introduzione
Sonata I: Pater, dimitte illis, quia nesciunt quid faciunt.
Sonata II: Hodie mecum eris in Paradiso.
Sonata III: Mulier, ecce filius tuus.
Sonata IV: Deus meus, Deus meus, ut quid dereliquisti me?
Sonata V: Sitio.
Sonata VI: Consummatum est.
Sonata VII: In manus tuas, Domine, commendo Spiritum meum.
Il terremoto

The Kuijkens have always had an unerring sense of repertoire. This unusual piece, seventy-eight minutes long, is more than some overgrown string quartet and more than sacred program music; true to its subject, the work is both somber and mystical. A brilliant performance at the Dorking Halls in Dorking, Surrey. Recorded by the BBC.

Frans Brüggen and the Minnesota Orchestra, 1 May 1985

Rameau: Suite from Dardanus (arranged by Brüggen)
J. S. Bach: Concerto for recorder and orchestra (arranged by Brüggen)
C.P.E. Bach: Symphony in D
Haydn: Symphony #88 in G

Live aircheck of a performance in St. Paul, Minnesota, during which Brüggen got a modern orchestra to sound like an eighteenth-century one. (Two weeks after this performance, he was in Sydney, Australia, getting their orchestra to do the same thing.) An interesting concert on many levels, not the least of which being Brüggen’s own transcriptions. The concerto here is an arrangement of a harpsichord concerto in which Brüggen served as both soloist and conductor. A twelve-minute interview with Brüggen discussing the motive behind these concerts, which originally aired during the intermission, is included at the end of this archive.

Joseph Haydn: baryton trios

Trios for baryton, viola, and violoncello, Hob. XI
#61 in D, #52 in d, #101 in C, #96 in b, #44 in D
Münchner Baryton-Trio

Haydn wrote a great deal of music for the baryton, a large viola da gamba with sympathetic strings, because it was the favorite instrument of his patron, Prince Nicolaus Esterházy. In that body of work are 125 trios or divertimenti, many of which include a cadenza to allow the prince to show off. Polydor Archiv, 1978.
