<< -- 3 -- Robert Anderson BRILLIANCE AND NEATNESS
During his master's absence, Haydn had the main harpsichord serviced
and did some practice. The result can be heard in the second movement of
the cantata he wrote to welcome Nicolaus back. It begins with the two female
soloists, continues with a choral version of similar material, and burgeons
into Haydn's virtuosic aural attempt at Nicolaus's Frankfurt fireworks [listen -- track 8, 0:00-1:10]. Haydn and the harpsichord
obviously remained up to scratch for the next December nameday. Here too
Johanna Stojkovic displays a comparable agility [listen
-- track 10, 1:33-2:23]. The three works are performed with a brilliance
and neatness that does the whole team under Andreas Spering maximum credit.
