Haydn - Divertimento for Baryton in A Major - Mov. 3/3

FRANZ JOSEPH HAYDN (1732-1809)

Divertimento octet for baryton, two violins, viola, cello doublebass, and two horns in A major Hob X :3

3. Finale: Allegro

Performed by Ensemble Baroque de Limoges et Quator Masaiques
Featuring Cristophe Coin, baryton

*The baryton is an old bowed stringed instrument, in regular use up until the end of the 18th century. It most likely fell out of favor due to its immense difficulty to play. Its size is comparable to that of a violoncello; it has seven or sometimes six bowed strings of gut, plus from nine to twenty-four sympathetic wire strings (most often twelve). The gut strings are bowed while the wire strings are plucked by the thumb of the performer in order to create a contrasting tonal quality.

Fine playing by Christopher Coin, and there are other features make this a stand-out recording. (For instance, the great 'chops' {lip control} and hand technique on the part of the two natural horn players.)
