Joseph Haydn’s piano concertos are among the most underestimated works in this genre. The great Paul Badura-Skoda is commemorating the special Haydn anniversary year with a disc of three concerto’s by the revered master. Right from the opening bar, the concertos demonstrate that, brimming with vivacity and originality, there is nothing avuncular about this music at all: a freedom and spontaneity of form, considered very daring at the time, melodic inventiveness and thrilling beauty which captures our hearts even today. This therefore is just the right music for today’s ever-youthful “elder statesman” of the concert podium—prepare to be carried away!
"... she breathes the spirit of an interpreter who has been intensively occupied with it - not only with the score." NDR-Kultur
"The works in F major, G major and D major are doubtless a good recommendation - not only for the performing artists but also for the composer. For one can still read from time to time that Haydn's concertos were not nearly of the quality attained in his symphonies and quartets. This is a prejudice, as this virtuoso and thoroughly bold recording shows." Leipziger Kreuzer, 7/2009
