Valencia Baryton Project

The heart of the Valencia Baryton Project is the trio of baryton, viola, and violoncello, for which Haydn wrote 123 works of outstanding beauty as the court composer for the Prince Esterhazy of Austria. A cross between the viol da gamba and lirone, with 10 resonating and plucked strings down the back of the instrument, the baryton gives the traditional string trio an entirely new dimension.
