Cello Concertos nos. 1 & 2

Album by Joseph Haydn & Mstislav Rostropovich & Academy of St Martin in the Fields & Iona Brown

Cello Concertos Nos. 1 & 2 are two concertos by Austrian composer Joseph Haydn dating from the late 18th century. They exemplify Classical-period concerto writing, pairing elegant, balanced orchestral textures with lyrical and occasionally virtuosic cello writing, and they form part of Haydn's contributions to the expansion of the solo cello repertoire during his mature period.
First released: 1991
