Description:

Master musician Zipperling performs the baritone with resonating strings!Zipperling, Natsumi Wakamatsu, and Hidemi Suzuki record Haydns Baritone Trio!The baritone was an instrument favored by Count Nikolaus Esterhzy. Resembling the viola da gamba, it is characterized by the ability to pluck the resonating string from the back of the neck.Haydn left behind a vast body of works featuring this instrument; by the mid-1770s, he had composed at least 126 baritone trios accompanied by viola and cello. This album features six of those works.Master musician Rainer Zipperling performs on the baritone, an instrument that is rarely played today. Performed and recorded on the instruments Haydn intended, alongside early music virtuosos Natsumi Wakamatsu and Hidemi Suzuki, this album is truly a delight.
