Changes aren’t forthcoming in the D major Concerto (No 2), not allowed to emerge as the substantial work it is, and bristling with difficulties that Warner overcomes, though she adds tasteless figurations to the eight bars for unaccompanied oboes and horns towards the end of the finale. She is closely miked and her position on stage also changes, markedly so for the cadenzas – superior ones by Maurice Gendron and Emanuel Feuermann. The production isn’t redeemed by a heavy-handed performance of the Myslive∂ek Concerto, which isn’t in Haydn’s league. His league in both concertos is discerningly delineated by Steven Isserlis, with individual touches of volatility from Mstislav Rostropovich in No 1 and Christoph Coin in No 2. Their conductors – Roger Norrington, Benjamin Britten and Christopher Hogwood respectively – are in a totally different league too.
