Haydn was in town again for another venture into period music. The Australian Haydn Ensemble morph into different combinations for their gigs as they explore the music of the early classical era and its various demands on lineup. This concert explored works for that string trio and with flute. I think from the Mozart flute quartet in C major written for flute, violin, viola and cello. The program was half and half, with and without flute. As well as Mozart, the composers were big names, Haydn and Beethoven and Boccherini, with two lesser names, Graf and Wendling. Apparently both Wendling and Graf were admired by Mozart for fine flute playing. Melissa is admired by me for fine flute playing.


For this concert, the Australian Haydn Ensemble comprised Skye McIntosh (violin), Melissa Farrow (flute), James Eccles (viola) and Anthea Cottee (cello).
