Joseph Haydn, Composer
Bamberg Symphony Orchestra Gábor Tarkövi, Trumpet Joseph Haydn, Composer Karl-Heinz Steffens, Conductor |
Author: Jonathan Freeman-Attwood
The Haydn is an object lesson in supreme control, the Neruda smooth and efficient and the Mozart pinpoint in its pristine piccolo trumpet intonation. The Hummel has rather more swagger; here the orchestral player begins to emerge with a relative degree of élan and charisma but it really is too little too late. These are disappointingly dull performances from a man who can doubtless lift you off your chair in a Mahler symphony.
Horses for courses, I suppose. Alison Balsom’s brilliant performances (EMI, A/08) knock spots off it. It also does no harm to be reminded of Warner’s recent three-volume Maurice André retrospective (hopefully with more to come) of a man whose personality, sound and inimitable panache still reign supreme.
