Omaggio a Palladio – Schiff, Höbarth, Coin - Full Concert

With the death of his patron Prince Nikolaus Esterházy in 1790, Haydn became a free agent, and Johann Peter Salomon seized the opportunity to bring Europe’s most famous composer to Soho. Haydn's music already dominated the fashionable Hanover Square Rooms, especially after the death of the London-based Johann Christian Bach (youngest son of Johann Sebastian), whose Symphony in G minor opens the concert's second half.

Haydn's Cello Concerto No. 2 was premiered at Hanover Square in 1784. A decade later, he embarked on his second trip to London, and from this period come two of his best-known symphonies, earning nicknames through their popularity: the "Military" (No. 100), and the "London" (No. 104).

The English Baroque Soloists have this music in their blood, and their use of period instruments casts these works in an entirely fresh light. They are joined by cellist Christophe Coin, making his MCO debut. Historically-informed performance specialist Peter Whelan returns to direct after a “thrilling” (The Times), "dazzling" (The Observer) and “unbeatable” (Scherzo) debut with the orchestra in 2024.

Haydn in London

St Martin-in-the-Fields

Hardly any other work combines as much depth, clarity, and emotional diversity as Johann Sebastian Bach's Cello Suites. Musical universes unfold between dance, meditation, and tonal architecture. What was once considered "practice material" is now considered one of the greatest challenges and, at the same time, a pinnacle of cello literature. Christophe Coin is one of the most important Baroque cellists of our time. His refined and profound interpretations of these musical monuments are an absolute insider tip among connoisseurs.

The exquisite and retrospective world of the viol consort seems far from the theatrical, dance-influenced violin music of the English and French courts.
