Haydn. Cello Concerto in D Major, Symphony No. 103 "Drumroll," and Trumpet Concerto in E-flat Major. Haydn's Cello Concerto in D Major follows the usual form of Classical-period concertos: three movements arranged in a fast-slow-fast pattern. In writing for solo cello as the concerto's featured instrument, Haydn exploited the instrument's wide range and its capacity for both lyrical expression and athletic passagework. Each CD package includes two CDs. The first, a Musical Performance Disk, features the top performers and symphony orchestras in the world, performing the best-loved music from the classical music Greats. Accompanying the Musical Performance Disc is a Conductor's Guide on a separate CD. Here, Maestro Gerard Schwarz discusses the musical performances in depth--movement by movement, section by section--using examples from the recorded performances. There's no better, more enjoyable way to get a basic education in classical music. You'll also receive a 16-page printed copy of Concert Notes, featuring the unique Music Disc Timeline, which is written to synchronize with the elapsed time display of your CD player. As you play the music on the Performance Disc, you can see exactly where the things that Maestro Schwarz discussed take place in the music. It's like looking into the score--but you don't have to know how to read music!
