MICHAEL HAYDN (1737-1806): Flute Quartets in F and D (attr.), Divertimenti in G for Flute, Horn and String Trio, MH406 and in D for Horn, Viola and Double Bass, MH173.

Description: It's likely that the quartets are not by Haydn at all; they are two movement works which are likely replacement movements for some other composer's other quartet. But the Divertimenti are, dating from 1785 and 1770-72 respectively. Of eight and five movements, they are fine examples of Viennese Classicism. Dieter Flury (flute), Lars Michael Stransky (horn), Marrtin Zalodek (violin), Gerhard Marschner (viola), Robert Nagy (cello), Michael Bladerer (double bass).
