HAYDN BARYTON TRIOS-24 BIT 44.1 KHZ FLAC

This is a 24-bit/44.1 kHz transcription using high-end analog equipment of a performance of five of Haydn's divertimenti for baryton, viola, and violoncello, by the Münchner Baryton-Trio. It was released on LP on the always excellent Claves label (D 609). The CD reissue is now long out of print and available only as an mp3 download, which cannot do justice to the complex tones of the recording.

The baryton is a modified viola da gamba with sympathy strings that resonate in response to the vibrations of the bowed strings. The sympathy strings produce a more complex timbre, and can also be plucked directly by the performer's thumb. The baryton never hit it big, but it was a favorite of Haydn's patron, Prince Nikolaus Esterházy, and so Haydn wrote about 175 pieces for the instrument between 1765 and 1775. More information on the baryton can be found in the Grove Dictionary of Music and Musicians, and in Wikipedia.

This is a nicely engineered recording that brings out the distinctive timbres of each of the instruments. The sound of the baryton's sympathy strings can be heard in rests, as the sound of the bowed strings dies away. The LP is in immaculate condition, and there is virtually no tracking distortion at all, which is remarkable given that they packed over 30 minutes of recording onto each side of the LP.

I have recently uploaded three other 24-bit LP transcriptions of comparable quality, and will be doing more in the near future. You can find them by clicking on my user id.

Equipment used for A/D conversion: Lyra Helikon phono cartridge, Linn LP12/Lingo turntable, Linn Ittok tonearm, Audioquest LeoPard tonearm cable, PS Audio PS2 preamplifier, Kimber PBJ interconnect, M-Audio Audiophile USB A/D converter.
