Read the Review
Haydn: Cello Concertos and Hétu: Rondo is the latest ATMA Classique CD from Canadian cellist Cameron Crozman, with Nicolas Ellis leading Les Violons du Roy (atmaclassique.com/en).
Haydn’s Cello Concerto No.1 in C Major was written in the early 1760s and presumed lost for 200 years before a copy of the score was discovered in the National Museum in Prague in 1961. The Cello Concerto No.2 in D Major, conversely, was not lost but believed to have been written by Anton Kraft before the 1951 discovery of a Haydn autograph manuscript. The warmth and grace of Crozman’s playing make for delightful performances, with idiomatic support from Les Violons du Roy that features some particularly nice continuo touches.
Jacques Hétu’s brief but animated Rondo for Cello and String Orchestra Op.9 was written in 1965, when the composer was 27 years old; this is its world premiere recording.
With this impressive and highly enjoyable release Crozman continues to establish himself as simply one of the finest young cellists around.
