Utwory na płycie:

Research has suggested that Joseph Haydn may have written the here recorded sonatas

primarily for tuition purposes. This can hardly have been the case. On the contrary: the sonatas’

structure marks them out as challenging, concertante repertoire for solo violin. This is confirmed by

Haydn’s terminology: he entered the works in his “draft catalogue” under the heading “Solo per il

Violino”, which he later expanded to “6 Violin Solo mit Begleitung einer Viola”. The “Solo per il

Violino” designation is perfectly justified because in these sonatas the violin is treated as a

concertante instrument with the viola in a mainly accompanying role. The sonatas therefore

exemplify the accompanied solo, a direct development from the Baroque sonata for solo

instrument and basso continuo. These six, stylistically homogeneous works were written together

and form a self-contained series. The “draft catalogue” entry also shows them to be a set. Even

external characteristics reveal conspicuous similarities between the movements.

Anton Steck is internationally renowned as a violinist devoted to music composed before 1840.

The hallmarks of his career have been his farreaching new discoveries in violin and quartet

repertoire and his tonal redefinition of familiar masterpieces. For years he was leader of the three

Deutsche Grammophon orchestras: Musica Antiqua Köln, Les Musiciens du Louvre and Concerto

Köln. In 1996 he founded the Schuppanzigh Quartet, an ensemble with which he regularly

performs concerts and makes CD recordings, most recently on the ACCENT label.
