Haydn: Piano Concertos 3, 4 & 11

Haydn: Piano Concertos 3, 4 & 11
- Music
Haydn's concertos aren't heard that often, but on the evidence of this disc, they ought to be. Most of his 14 concertos for harpsichord or fortepiano are probably spurious, but the three played by Andsnes and his fine band have the scholarly seal of authenticity. That seal refers to their provenance, not the modern piano Andsnes plays with high spirits and wit. The best known is the D Major, identified as No. 11. It's captivating here, as Andsnes revels in the vivacity of the outer movements and sings the adagio with welcome warmth. The other two works, while lesser, are highly enjoyable. Good sound adds to the disc's pleasures. --Dan Davis
