Winner of the Berliner International Music Competition, the Prix Jeune Soliste des Medias Francophones Publics, and the International Manhattan Music Competition, young cellist Christoph Croise debuts on AVIE performing the two Cello Concertos by Franz Joseph Haydn.
His fresh and fervent approach is matched by his collaborators, the Eurasian Soloists Chamber Orchestra, as they recreate the original set up of the works’ first performances in the Esterhazy Castle when the composer directed from the harpsichord alongside the first violinist and the soloist. Christoph concludes the album with Antonio Vivaldi’s Concerto for Violin and Cello, RV547, joined by the orchestra’s founder and director, Kazakh violinist Sherniyaz Mussakhan.

Reviews
This conductor-less release from Avie manages to capture something too
often lost in recordings of the early cello concerto repertoire: fun.
... His first recording of a cello concerto from the canon, Christoph
Croisé’s offering of Haydn’s Concerto No 1 in C is an act of humility
met with stunning virtuosity. ... The Concerto in D, the lesser known of
the Haydn pair, makes for almost equal enjoyment. ... The recording
finishes with Vivaldi’s Concerto for violin and cello, RV547... The
entire ensemble is spot-on, swerving in the surprises of Vivaldi’s
harmonic language. Mark SeowError on this page? Let us know here
