In 2004, Jean-Guihen Queyras and the Freiburger Barockorchester offered us a prodigious interpretation of Haydn’s two cello concertos, coupled with a rare concerto by Georg Matthias Monn, a pioneer of the genre. A version now recognized as a landmark in the discography.
‘A sense of seemingly effortless bravura to [Queyras’s] playing, as well as superb technical control and intelligence. An extremely attractive proposition.’International Record Review
