Takes only seconds to realize this is not Haydn. It is still a worthwhile effort and quite enjoyable to listen to. Haydn's authentic violin concertos, like Mozart's are miles ahead of this particular work on so many levels. Easy to be a backseat listener and toss out my opinion, even though I couldn't compose my way out of a wet paper sack. Thank you for the posting of this concerto.
Funny .I hear at least one of the cello concerti all the time but you'll never hear these in concert. Not bad works. Too light- for my taste .I'll take Ligeti ,Chin ,Harbison,Shostakovich ,both Prokofiev any day over that era. I think listeing to contemp music has ruined me for a lot of early stuff.Biber .god no.Agricola,Hell no.Paganini is still enjoyable Mozart 3,4,5 and both Bach are so great I always come back to them with interest and unbelievable amazement . This Hadyn concerto has so little imagination . Like factory produced classicla music . Amazing that Pergolesi was able to be interesting with all those harmony rules . It almosts disgusts me that whle classical ethos .Like slavery if you ask me and religions.Charled rosen's the classical Style is required reading and it makes great points but this music 's elegance and fine taste seem easy and ordinary .Very well played here by all .The best music doesn't always grab you the first time so maybe I will come back afer Im done seeing what the living are doing. Matthias Pintscher needs to write a violin concerto he is out of this world !!!

I enjoy this masterwork, beautifully, performed!
Bohuslav Mateusek is violinist. Sorry if I spelled name wrong.
Wow
Well, if it was once thought to be good enough to have been written by Haydn...

Legend says he's still babbling about 20th century music being better than 18th
