The two Haydn concertos recorded here are pillars of the cello repertoire, and unquestionably the two most accomplished works in their genre from the Viennese Classical era. As to the concerto by Matthias Georg Monn (a major figure of the transition from Baroque to Classicism), it is a remarkable work from the pre-Haydn period.
"With the bright, intelligent sweep of Freiburg Baroque's glorious sound behind him, Queyras gives a lovely account of both Haydn concerti: clean and soft and supple in the slow movements. Georg Matthias Monn's G minor Concerto is, if anything, even finer." - Anna Picard, The Independent on Sunday (16 May 2004)
“a stunning performance, of what is perhaps the finest of all Haydn’s instrumental concertos [Cello Concerto in C]. But Queyras is just as convincing in the more easy-going D major Concerto. The expression is so vivid, and again there are plenty of opportunities for Queyras to display that extraordinary agility. Music than can sound a trifle sedate here springs to life.” - Stephen Johnson, CD Review, BBC Radio 3 (10 July 2004)
"If you want these concertos on period instruments, look no further." - Richard Wigmore, The Daily Telegraph (17 July 2004)
