Description:

Mozart & Haydn Concertos & Symphonies Series, Vol. 2Following his previous album, Baborks latest release is Volume 2 of his series, featuring him performing Mozart and Haydn concertos as a hornist, as well as conducting symphonies with the Czech Sinfonietta, an orchestra he founded himself. Alongside the superb execution of the concertos themselves, Baborks original cadenzas leave one in awe of his free-spirited creativity and astonishing technique. In the symphonies, he delivers performances so beautifully structured that the characteristic contrapuntal narrativewith its introduction, development, turning point, and conclusionis almost visibly evident. It is truly music with warmth and life, evoking both the good old Czech traditions and a spirit of innovation.Octavia Records
