\nHaydn: The Complete Piano Concertos
\n\u201cPerhaps Mozart sings more, but Haydn speaks, he chatters, he rejoices and talks about the really important things in life.\u201d After Matthias Kirschnereit\u2019s exploration with the Radio Hesse Symphony Orchestra of the middle ground between the Classical and Romantic eras in works by Hummel, Weber and Mendelssohn, the pianist now turns to Papa Haydn. And that means he is entering the terrain, somewhat neglected even now, of the great Austrian\u2019s piano concertos. All nine keyboard concertos that were definitely written by Haydn are now being released with Matthias Kirschnereit and the W\u00fcrttemberg Chamber Orchestra of Heilbronn, which he directs from the instrument. Included is the Double Concerto in F major with Lena Neudauer on the violin. As a “chamber music treat”, Matthias Kirschnereit also had the Piano Trio in G major arranged and recorded. The recording is a co-production with Deutschlandfunk Kultur.
\nHaydn\u2019s \u201cconcertos for keyboard instruments\u201d, which are collected in Section XVIII of the Hoboken catalogue, were surely written for a variety of instruments. Pieces originally intended for fortepiano, harpsichord or even organ come to life in the hands of Matthias Kirschnereit on a modern Steinway concert grand. \u201cHere and there I even take the liberty of intervening in the score and \u2013 as Joseph Haydn might have done, I trust \u2013 I use little ornaments, scales, embellishments and octave sequences to make the whole thing sound even more contemporary,\u201d says the professor at Rostock\u2019s University of Music and Drama. His feeling for Haydn\u2019s keyboard language is particularly evident in the cadenzas. They are not given by Haydn in the original score, giving the soloist the opportunity to turn composer for his complete edition of the concertos. He has arranged them in the true spirit of Haydn, quoting his role model, who would surely have relished the exercise, to his heart\u2019s content.
\nAll of the concertos, which may well have been written for use in church, follow a simple principle: three movements, the outer ones fast, the middle one lyrically pensive, exclusively in major keys. Kirschnereit achieves his thrilling clarity of sound and variety of tone above all by means of his constant dialogue with the orchestra. \u201cI direct the orchestra from the keyboard. The aim is to join together to seek and find this spirit, this imagination and freedom in the music. Maybe it\u2019s the case that we have to listen even more closely when there is no conductor.\u201d His aim is to shed light on the music\u2019s eerie byways and expose its hidden depths.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
