CMC Presents: Valencia Baryton Project
This unique program will feature the baryton, a bowed string instrument with an extra set of plucked strings, and works composed by Franz Joseph Haydn for his patron Prince Nikolaus Esterhazy of Austria. The Valencia Baryton Project was formed by colleagues from the opera of the Palau de les Arts (Valencia) and the Orchestre Nationale de Montpellier with the vision of performing the nearly 160 works written by Haydn for the baryton as well as compositions by other composers, both modern and classical. At the heart of the ensemble is the traditional baryton triobaryton, viola, and violoncello--for which Haydn wrote 123 works of outstanding beauty during his time as the court composer for the Prince Esterhazy of Austria. With Matthew Baker, one of only a handful baryton performers in the world, the Valencia Baryton Project have delighted audiences around the world with what is considered to have been the pinnacle of aristocratic instruments of the classical era. Their work has been described as delightfully inventive (The Strad) and you cant get enough of it (Die Welt, Germany). They have been featured in publications and programs such as Berklee Now (USA), Ritmo (Spain), RTVE (Ireland), BBC 3 (UK), and Classic FM (UK) amongst others.
