About

On his visits to England between 1791 and 1795, Joseph Haydn not only enjoyed growing popularity, but also developed a taste for arranging folk songs from the British Isles. Haydn’s folksong arrangements offer us a subtle mix of nature poetry, dance and the joys and tribulations of love (with familial hurdles along the way). Perfect in form but rhythmic and rousing too. Julie Kaufmann, much in demand on the international scene, finds just the right nuances of expression, both for the hopes and the disappointments of love.

Two piano trios which can be regarded as paradigms of this form of composition complete the programme. Whilst the Trio in C is impressive for its carefully balanced developments and transitions, the 'Gipsy' Trio in G features a captivating final rondo “in the gipsies’ style” (from which it takes its name). The piece is songlike and melodic, not only in the opening variation movement but also in the slow middle section, which precedes the whirligig finale.

…American soprano Julie Kaufmann is a persuasive advocate of both folksongs and canzonettas.” - Gramophone November 2009
