In 2004, Jean-Guihen Queyras and the Freiburger Barockorchester offered us a prodigious interpretation of Haydn's two cello concertos, coupled with a rare concerto by Georg Matthias Monn, a pioneer of the genre - a version now recognised as a landmark in the discography.
Recorded in March 2003 at Teldex Studio Berlin, Germany.
