The city of Eisenstadt was the location of the Esterhazy Court where Joseph Haydn was music director for 25 years. Prince Nikolaus commissioned Haydn to write trios for the baryton, an instrument on which the Prince had become proficient. The baryton is a bowed, stringed instrument similar to the viol but with extra plucked strings that can enable the performer to accompany themselves. For Nikolaus, Haydn wrote string trios of elegance, refinement and poise that encapsulate a rich variety of moods. Seldom performed or recorded, the baryton trios attest to Haydn’s limitless powers of invention in every medium.

The Valencia Baryton Project return with their second instalment of Haydn’s fascinating trios for baryton, viola and cello. The baryton is a bowed, stringed instrument similar to the viol but with extra plucked strings that enable the performers to accompany themselves. Volume 1 (8.574188) was widely acclaimed for the ensemble’s well attuned performances and also for showcasing this virtually unknown repertoire from Haydn’s vast output.
