By Robin Friedman:
A little tag line at the conclusion of the liner notes advises the listener to “sit back and enjoy” this reissue of a pair of concerted works by Haydn. In 1977, Pinchas Zukerman played the solo violin and conducted the Los Angeles Philharmonic Orchestra in Haydn’s Violin Concerto no. 1 in C major and in the Sinfonia Concertante in B-flat major. The recording was issued on Deutsche Grammophon using a new quadraphonic recording technique that could not be adequately reproduced by the playback equipment of the day. When the advent of the super audio CD, this recording, and others using the same technique, have been remastered and reissued to capture the sound quality that was impossible to more than 30 years ago. The result is this reissue as part of a series called “Remastered Classics”. The sound is clear and full and offers the opportunity to hear exquisite performances of rarely performed works of Haydn.
The two works on this disk were composed more than 30 years apart. The violin concerto of the early 1760s was written in the baroque concerto form of its time while the sinfonia concertante of 1792 looks backward to the then old concerto grosso form. With that said, the best advice is to “sit back and enjoy” the music and the performance without worrying about the historical details. Zuckerman and the orchestra offer lively. accessible modern-style performances of these works. Zuckerman plays with a large, sweet, and lyrical tone beautifully captured on this reissue and the orchestra provides excellent support.
Haydn composed his violin concerto for the concertmaster at Esterhazy who was also a close friend. The work had been lost until its rediscovery in 1909.Read more ›

Although sometimes thought of as a workaday genius, whose primary work was in the field of symphonies (104 of them) and string quartets (dozens of those), Franz Joseph Haydn did venture into the concerto field a time or two (with his 1795 Trumpet Concerto being the benchmark for any and all concertos for that instrument). He may not have had the enormous amount of success that his much younger contemporary and close friend Mozart had had in this particular arena, but he nevertheless managed to produce several works that have stayed in the repertoire more or less for two centuries.
One such work is the Violin Concerto No. 1, composed sometime in the 1760s for the Italian violinist Luigi Tomasini, who was soon to become the concertmaster of the Esterhazy court orchestra, whom Haydn had been employed for. It was a work that went unpublished until the middle of the 20th century, but which has since become a favorite of quite a few violinists. It isn’t necessarily a “virtuoso” work like the ones that would come much later from Beethoven or Brahms (let alone even the five that Mozart would soon compose), but this C Major concerto is not an insubstantial work.
At the other end of the spectrum is the Sinfonia-Concertante in B Flat Major that Haydn composed during his London stay, sometime in 1792, and which calls for four soloists, (violin, oboe, cello, and bassoon), plus an orchestra that includes the full string compliment, trumpets, and timpani. Haydn supposedly composed this in-between writing some of his London symphonies as a response to similar works by a former student of his, Ignaz Pleyel. More fulsome in orchestration than the two works in this hybrid form that his friend Mozart composed, this is nevertheless a highly involved work in the Haydn canon that still gets performed in concert.
This particular recording, originally released by Deutsche Grammophon in 1977 but re-released now by the Dutch audiophile label PentatTone, marks one of the first examples of Pinchas Zukerman, who was by then already a very well-known violin virtuoso of sorts, doing double duty, as both violinist and conductor, here leading members of the Los Angeles Philharmonic, whose music director Zubin Mehta was a good friend of his. Zukerman handles both jobs quite well in the Violin Concerto, and works very well with the then-principal players of the L.A.P.O. in the four-tier Sinfonia-Concertante. By the 1980s, Zukerman, in addition to continuing his career as one of the premier violin virtuosos of all times, would also successfully lead the St. Paul Chamber Orchestra as its music director.
This is a re-release well worth getting for anyone wanting to go into the lesser-known corners of Haydn’s compositional sphere, and well recommended.
